zka. Hence, its plainThat Hose, who was of her toilet vain,Should have a team that ought to beEqual to any in all Paris. Bring forth the horse ! —The commissaire Bowed, and brought Miss Rose a pair Leading an equipage rich and rare : Why doth that lovely lady stare 1 Why % The tail of the off grey mare Is bobbed, by all thats good and fair ! Like the shaving-brushes that soldiers wear. Scarcely showing as much back-hair As Tarn OShanters Meg,—and there Lord knows shed little enough to spare. That stare and frown the Frenchman knew, But did,—as well-bred Frenchmen do ; Raised his shoulders above his crown, Joined his thumbs, with the fingers down, And said, Ah Heaven !—then, Mademoiselle, Delay one minute and all is well ! He went; returned ; by what good chance These things are managed so well in France I cannot say,—but he made the sale, And the bob-tailed mare had a flowing tail. © All that is false in this world belowBetrays itself in a love of show ; THE TALE OF A PONY.
