The Mind
The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: X
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
The Mind
I thanked him for his counsel, and said I thought I'd take it, really,
If he'd spare me half a feed out of four feeds daily.
He tossed his head at that: "Now don't be cheeky!" said he;
"When I find I'm getting fat, I'll think of you: keep steady."
