     Set a guard, and off to Court
     Raced to hand in his report.
     Straightway to the Tsar went he.
     "Pardon, Gracious Majesty!"
     Cried the Mayor, as he fell prone
     Breathlessly before the throne.
     "Be not angry with your slave-
     Suffer me to speak, I crave."
     "Speak," vouchsafed the Tsar. "Confess
     But be sure your words make sense.'
     "I shall try, Your Majesty,
     I am Lord Mayor here, you see,
     I would give my life for you ..."
     "Yes-we know-we know 'tis true."
     "Sire, I rode to Hostlers' Fair
     With my guard today, and there
     I beheld a crowd, so great,
     That it blocked up every gate;
     So I told my men that they
     Break the crowd and clear the way-
     Which they did. Your Majesty.
     In I rode-what did I see
     When I got inside the Fair?
     I saw two such chargers there-
     Handsome horses, black as night,
     Silken manes in ringlets bright,
     Golden in the sunlight streaming,
     Flowing tails, all golden gleaming,
     And their hoofs, of diamonds made,
     Were with monster pearls inlaid."
     Cried the Tsar excitedly:
     "We shall have to go and see-
     And, if they are all you say,
     We shall buy those two today.
     Ho! My coach !"-he clapped his hands
     Lo !-his coach all ready stands-
     Donned his robes and crown with care
     And in haste drove to the fair,
     Followed by his Guard of State.
     When he stopped outside the gate,
     All the people straightaway
     Kneeled and wildly cheered: "Hurray!'
     In reply, the Tsar smiled brightly,
     Bowed, and from his coach sprang light
     Charmed by those two steeds, the Tsar
     Gazed at them from near and far,
     Praised and praised them once again,
     Softly stroked each golden mane,
     Gently patted each steed's spine,
     Felt their necks, so sleek and fine.
