For ridden, trust me, I can hardly pace,
Nor bear thee gently like a patient Asse;
But trot amain, and if thou chance to kick,
I shall wince too, and gall thee to the quick.
Flinging full fast till I have thrown thee off,
Till I have shook thy snaffle from thy mouth;
And then in triumph (Lividus) look to't,
I spurn thy pride and follies under foot.
