The ancients made no end of fuss
About a horse named Pegasus,
A famous flyer of his time,
For the Parnassus Handicap.
Alas3 for fame! The other day
I saw an ancient "one-hoss shay"
Stop at the Mont de Piété,
And, lo! alighting from the same,
A
bard4, whom I forbear to name.
Noting the poor beast's
rusty5 hide
(The horse, I mean), methought I spied
What once were wings. Incredulous,
I cried, "Can this be Pegasus!"
