Lord Epsom
Reading edition
A Horse, Lord Epsom did bestride With mastery and quiet pride. He dug his spurs into its hide.
The Horse,
discerning it was pricked, Incontinently
bucked and kicked, A thing that no one could predict! Lord Epsom clearly understood The High-bred creature's nervous mood,
As only such a horseman could. Dismounting,
he was heard to say That it was kinder to delay His pleasure to a future day
He had the Hunter led away.
