    |    Gently patted each steed's spine,                            |
    |    Felt their necks, so sleek and fine.                         |
    |                                                                 |
    |    After he had gazed his fill,                                 |
    |    He turned round with right goodwill,                         |
    |    Saying: "My good people, who                                 |
    |    Owns these handsome chargers two?                            |
    |    Who's the master?" Here, Ivan,                               |
    |    Arms akimbo, like a Pan*,                                    |
    |    Pushed his brothers both aside,                              |
    |    Puffed his cheeks and proudly cried:                         |
    |    "Tsar, these steeds belong to me,                            |
    |    I'm their owner, too, you see."                              |
    |                                                                 |
    |    "Will you sell them to me, say?"                             |
    |    "No, I'm swapping them today."                               |
    |    "What will you be taking, then?"                             |
    |    "Twice five caps-and that makes ten,                         |
    |    Full of silver-that's my price!"                             |
    |    So the coins were in a trice                                 |
    |    Counted out-the Tsar, in pleasure,                           |
    |    Gave five rubles for good measure-                           |
    |    Generous a tsar was he!                                      |

    |    Ten grey grooms in livery,                                   |
    |    Trimmed with gold and silver slashes,                        |
    |    Each with gaily coloured sashes,                             |
    |    Each with saffian whip in hand,                              |
    |    Took the horses' bridles, and                                |
    |    Led them to the Royal Palace,                                |
    |    But the steeds, in play, or malice,                          |
    |    Tripped their grooms and straightway r                       |

    |    John Himbledon had just got a set of new teeth and went away |
    |    for a holiday. His wife knowing how easily a set of teeth can|
    |    be lost if you are bathing in a rough sea, wrote to him      |
    |    saying: "Take care not to wear your new teeth when you are   |
    |    bathing in the sea".                                         |
