ANIMALS IN MOTION. 
Beggar”: “the sauntering horseman.” Longfellow, in 
“ Tales of a Wayside Inn ”— 
“ A jaded horse, his head down bent, 
Passed slowly; limping as he went.” 
Dickens, “ David Copperfield,” iii.: “ The carrier’s horse 
was the laziest horse in the world . . . and shuffled along 
with his head down.” Morris, “ Bellerophon at Argos ”— 
“ The slow tramp of a great horse soon they heard.” 
Barham, in “ The Lay of Aloys,” alludes to the walk 
of a cat under difficulties— 
“ From his lurking place, 
With stealthy pace, 
Through the long-drawn aisle he begins to crawl, 
As you see a cat walk on the top of a wall 
When it’s stuck full of glass, and she thinks she shall fall.” 
A PHASE IN THE SLOW WALK OF A HORSE.
