36 ANNALS OP HORSEMANSHIP. 



Sir, the horfe I ride is my Father's, and he 

 will not allow me to part with him : and 

 this horfe, Sir, has an infirmity of fuch an 

 extreme indelicate nature, that our interviews 

 are broke off every five minutes, and my 



dear Mifs S will perhaps ride away 



with fome other Gownfman who is more de- 

 cently mounted. 



I really. Sir, dare not mention, in plain 

 terms, the fhocking failing of my horfe ; but, 

 perhaps, if you look into Bailey's Dictiona- 

 ry, you may find it out under the article 

 of Wind. Be pleas 'd. Sir, to fend me a 

 recipe for this horrid infirmity, or I may 

 lofe my dear girl for ever, I have tried fe- 

 veral experiments, but all in vain ; and un- 

 lefs you ftand my friend, I fhall go dif- 

 trad:ed. 



Infandum Regma jubes renovate dolorem. 



I am, my dear Sir, 



In a great fufs, Your's moft truly, 

 George Gillyflower.
