Whether to wend through straight streets strictly, 
Trimly by towns perfectly paved; 
Or after office, as fitteth thy fancy, 
Faring with friends far among fields; 
There is none other equal in action, 
Sith she  is silent,  nimble,  unnoisome, 
Lordly of leather, gaudily gilded, 
Burgeoning brightly in a brass bonnet, 
Certain to steer well between wains.
Rudyard Kipling
