A Michaelmas Meeting


SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE was so bad a horseman, that when mounted he

generally attracted unfavorable notice. On a certain occasion he was

riding along a turnpike road, in the county of Durham, when he was met

by a wag, who, mistaking his man, thought the rider a good subject for

sport. I say, young man, cried the rustic, did you see a tailor on

the road?--Yes, I did; and he told me that, if I went a little

further, I should meet a goose.
