The Four-in-Hand

     A modern-styled whip,
     Howe’er he may dip
Into fashion’s wide vortex his pinions,
     To make a bold stand,
     Lloyd’s prime Four-in-Hand
Must cover his upper dominions.

     For ease, form, and set,
     The like never yet
Was seen, at least so run opinions;
     Then ye four-in-hand whips,
     In your jarvey-like trips
Take care of your upper dominions.

Dimensions.

     It measures, by rule,
     Near three inches full
In the brim, with a crown wide at top;
     Nor is there a face
     But what it will grace,
If purchased at Lloyd’s fancy shop.
