The One-spur Horseman
Jests Home
A STUDENT riding being jeered on the way for wearing but one spur, said
that if one side of his horse went on, it was not likely that the
other would stay behind.
[This is, no doubt, the original of the well-known passage in
Hudibras,--
For Hudibras wore but one spur;
As wisely knowing, could he stir
To active trot one side of 's horse, &c.]
