SEyme, comme nous dirons à la seconde Partie, est une fente depuis le poil jusqu’au fer aux quartiers, c’est à dire que le sabot se creve de haut en bas, presque toujours au quartier de dedans, comme le plus foible; la sécheresse & l’aridité en est la cause ordinaire, ce qui fait serrer les talons, ou tout au moins fait venir des cercles qui entourent le…

JOHN ADAMS lies here, of the parish of Southwell,
A _Carrier_ who _carried_ his can to his mouth well;
He carried so much and he carried so fast,
