A Horse's Petition to his Master. 

 Going up hill. Whip me not. 

 Going down hill, Hurry me not. 

 On level road, Spare me not. 

 Loose in stable. Forget me not. 

 Of Hay and Corn, Rob me not. 

 Of clean Water, Stint me not. 

 With sponge and brush, Neglect me not. 

 Of soft dry bed, Deprive me not. 

 Tired or hot. Wash me not. 

 If sick or cold, Chill me not. 

 With bits and reins. Oh jerk me not. 

 And when you are angry, Strike me not.
