My mother purchased a donkey for me to ride on but he soon gained the mastery over me and went his own slow pace.

You used to ride a donkey, don't?

And up he got, in haste to ride, / But soon came down again.

I have just purchased a '06 Cadillac

When I recall these days my schoolboy days, I cannot but express my deepest regret that I made such little improvement in them. Pleasure was all there engrossed my thoughts; fleeting pleasure that is ever presenting herself in some fresh garb to allure and deceive us-drawing us away from the true House of happiness and real enjoyment.

So you must ride / On horseback after we.
