Explore "The Turnspit and the Mule of the Well" by Tomás de Iriarte on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In inn or convent kitchen, / The reader oft, no doubt, / Turning the spit about, / A contrivance shrewd has seen.
A wheel of wood is it, / With steps on outer rim, / Where a Dog, ceaseless clambering, / Turns it beneath his feet.
