Description

• George Finch Mason
• the start; the brook

• a pair, both signed and inscribed, one "I shall ride my own horse", quoth young Puff,
  "And wont I just give the ring Snuff!"
  Alas for his Boast,
  He got left at the Post,
  And then they all called him a Muff.
  the other To please his host sweet pretty Daughter,
  He showed the way over the Water.
  Cleared it just like a Deer
  His Reward - with a sneer -
  "Yes! you jumped it, but not as you Oughter"!
