Burdened mules quite undersize
Carry loads of which comprise
Skins of goats now yellow dyed
Ample men with legs astride
Wooden crates of anxious hen
(Necks will wring but who knows when)
They carry, and submit with sigh
To panniers with goods piled high
With top of these more wool in bale
Resigned, they huff a long exhale.
