text
  • Following his track succeeds a numerous band, Who vainly drive to work their fours-in-hand. For Richmond bound I view them passing by, Their hands unsteady, and their reins awry. Some scratch their panels, some their horses' knees — Beaufort and Payne, I class you not with these; For who so smartly skins along the plain as Beaufort's Duke? What whip can equal Payne? No matter — dinner comes, when all are able To drive their coaches well about the table. Ricardo then can driving feats relate, And Batthyany swear he'd clear the gate; Till midnight closes o'er the festive scene, Then who so bold as ride with Angerstein? He who aloft can mark with unmoved nerve The wheelers jibbing while the leaders swerve, And sit, al careless, 'mid the wordy war To lose a pinch-pin, break a splinter-bar. (en)
