Having with great persusion gained the consent of your favorite Lass, to take an afternoon ride, (obliged to hire) you request a steady one which you DISCOVER you have obtained; not to mention the company of a Dokey Boy or two who are constantly offering their assistance, and from whom you find it impossible to get away. ~ London, Pub Jan 1, 1817
Up & down or the endevour to DISCOVER which way your Horse is inclined to come down backwards or forwards. ~ London, Pub Jan 1, 1817
