FOR SALE, A HORSE, by                    
First Line: In good condition
Last Line: He'll aid your reading of horatius.
Subject(s): Animals; Horses


IN good condition,
Cheap, on account of competition,
Well-broken, easy on his bridle,
With curb or snaffle never idle.
A very little child can ride him,
And carry three or four beside him.
Why plod when you can ride so cheaply?
There is no need to ponder deeply.
I'll warrant he'll not bite nor kick you;
I've not the slightest wish to stick you!
However short you are, you're suited,
For low-stand men can mount when booted.
Come, buy my steed with manner gracious.
He'll aid your reading of Horatius.
