A Change, but No Relief

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The horse moves very slow - he hangs his head, / He’s traveled long till he’s quite wearied. / The rider, thinking to relieve his nag, / On his own shoulders puts a heavy bad. / Short-sighted reasoner, who thinks, of course, / That such a change must greatly help the horse."—Barber, 1857
