| The Advertisement written by Rudyard Kipling |
| First published in The Muse Among the Motors. (1904). |
(IN THE MANNER OF THE EARLIER ENGLISH)
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.
