Classic Poem

TO A NEIGHBOUR IN THE COUNTRY .

" Two of your horses fain I 'd borrow,
Dear L *******, for my use to-morrow . "
By such a bold attack perplex'd,
You answer, " Yes — on Friday next . "
You open first, then bar the door —
" On Friday useless would be four.
One given soon — is double one;
The two on Friday next — are none . "
