Julia was careless, and withal She rather took than got a fall; The wanton ambler chanc’d to see Part of her legs’ sincerity: And ravish’d thus, it came to pass, The nag (like to the prophet’s *** Began to speak, and would have been A-telling what rare sights he’d seen And had told all; but did refrain Because his tongue was tied again.
