The ancients made no end of fuss / About a horse named Pegasus, / A famous flyer of his time, / Who often soared to heights sublime, / When backed by some poetic chap / For the Parnassus Handicap!
Alas for fame! The other day / I saw an ancient "one-hoss shay" / Stop at the Mont de Piete, / And, lo! alighting from the same, / A bard, whom I forbear to name!
