Now Bellibone, though as willing a nag as ever ambled, did think far more o' getting to her journey's end than o' the manner in which she did accomplish the journey; and, I will say, a trotted as though a was for breaking th' stones on th' Queen's highway, instead o' getting o'er 'em.
We did christen her Keren-Happuch; "for," quoth my wife, "when that we be pleased with her, we can call her Keren which is as sweet-sounding a name as a maid can have; and, on the other hand, when we be wroth with her, we can call her Happuch which sure would be a rough name even for thy trotting mare Bellibone." Ha! ha!
And thereby, comrade, hangs another tale, as Master Shakespeare was wont to say. My wife, thou must know, hath e'er been a loyal admirer o' our gracious Queen, and it comes to her ears one day as how her Majesty did ride a-horseback most excellent well. Naught would do but that I must let Mistress Lemon mount for a ride upon my gray mare Bellibone.
Well, I did what I could to dissuade Mistress Lemon from her enterprise, but a was as firm as one o' my surest driven nails in a new shoe. So a let her go. Couldst thou but 'a' seen her when she was returned an hour after! Ha! ha! ha! a was for breaking my head with my own pincers. "Dost thou call that devil's-riding-horse 'Bellibone?" quoth she, with what breath there was left to her.
