They made short way — but still the colt Would stand, as stupid as a dolt; At length, stock-still, it seem'd to say — "Not one step more I'll stir to-day;" And yet, with gentleness, they strove To make the senseless creature move. A gentleman, who chanced to pass, Exclaim'd — " A very pretty ass ! " 'Tis gentle, sure — I have a boy — "A child — I've promised him a toy; "And (to a stander-by he said) "It has a very pretty head — " I wonder if the lads will sell ? "The donkey would do thrice as w...ell, "And on the lawn 'twould range and feed, "It is a pretty ass — indeed. " "Oh, since we cannot make it stir, " The boys exclaim'd— "We'll sell her. Sir. " With inward pleasure now he smil'd, To think how well 'twould please his child.
