UPON SPUR, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Spur jingles now, and sweares by no meane oathes
Last Line: Worship, and not to'th' asse that carried her.


Spur jingles now, and sweares by no meane oathes,
He's double honour'd, since h'as got gay cloathes:
Most like his Suite, and all commend the Trim;
And thus they praise the Sumpter; but not him:
As to the Goddesse, people did conferre
Worship, and not to'th' Asse that carried her.
