EXTEMPORE, ON PASSING A LADY'S CARRIAGE, by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: If you rattle along like your mistress's tongue
Last Line: If your stuff be as rotten's her heart.
Subject(s): Hate


If you rattle along like your Mistress' tongue,
Your speed will outrival the dart;
But a fly for your load, you'll break down on the road,
If your stuff be as rotten's her heart.
