Some wonder, too, the _tits_ that pull

This _rum concern_ along, so full,

Should never _back_ or _bolt_, or kick

The load and driver to Old Nick.

But, never fear, the breed, though British,

Is now no longer _game_ or skittish;

Except sometimes about their corn,

Tamer _Houghnhums_ ne'er were born.

So ya-hip, _Hearties_, etc.
