The Ass Loaded with Sponges TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text <br> A man, whom I shall call an ass-eteer,<br> His sceptre like some Roman emperor bearing,<br> Drove on two coursers of protracted ear,<br> The one, with sponges laden, briskly faring;<br> The other lifting legs<br> As if he trod on eggs,<br> With constant need of goading,<br> And bags of salt for loading.<br> O'er hill and dale our merry pilgrims pass'd,<br> Till, coming to a river's ford at last,<br> They stopp'd quite puzzled on the shore. COMMENTS: Visual Text The translation is in verse; a head-start on lyrics.
