I. A Remonstrance (to Rosie). T ALWAYS admired you, 'twas Love at first sight, * How smoothly you sailed to the front, And took your own line in the very first flight Right bang at the top of the Hunt. You went a bit faster than others, of course, And you liked to be given your head, But I hate "em too slow, whether woman or horse, And I do like 'em both thoroughbred. I never ill-used you, for rowel-less spurs Your dignity could not disturb, And Fin certain, unless my poor memory errs, I never ...made use of the curb. But yet, without giving me warning at all, You stopped being friendly and kind, And flouted and tricked me, and made me look small, In the nastiest way you could find. There were hundreds of people I knew within sight, You paid no attention to that. My breeches and boots were a masterpiece quite, And I had on my very best hat. You looked as demure and as douce as a dove, Your temper was warranted sweet, 'It was all very well to dissemble your love, 1 But u'hy buck me off' at the meet ?
