The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: VII
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Religion
"Why don't you take it easy? You are working much too hard!
In the shafts you'll die one day, if you're not upon your guard!
Have pity on your friends: work seems to you delectable,
But believe me such a cart--excuse me--'s not respectable!"
