Classic Poem

You that from cups of gay champagne
Or coffee come, to take a turn
Across our pleasant Sudbury plain
To where the Wayside fagots burn,

Here let your lordly palfreys drink,
Here give thy panting steed a rest,
That on your pillow ye may think,
“I have remembered Heaven's behest:

“‘Do unto others what ye would
Another one should unto you,’”
And let thy charity include
Thy neighbor and his horses, too.
