| Spots from their masters' shoes | E |

| Of these pathetic lines | E |
| - | |
| Who knows As quoth Sir Walter | L |
| 'Time rolls his ceaseless course | E |
| 'The Grace of yore' may alter | L |
| And then I've one resource | E |
| I'll invest in a bran new halter | L |
| And I'll perish without remorse | E |
