 * Once indeed, I confess it, I was very near falling as low: words passed between me and the more favored man of letters, who announces to the world the Works and Days of Newmarket, — the competitors at its games, their horses, their equisons and colours, and the attendant votaries of that goddess who readily leaves Paphos or Amathus for this annual celebration.

 * In France escuere is a stable; in England esquire was the ‛Squire of the stable. Equison was an old name for a horse jockey. We have equestrian, equestrienne, equitant, equitation, equitancy, for riders and riding; equine and equinal, pertaining to the horse; equivorous, horse-flesh eating; equinia, glanders. Equipage, as applied now to a carriage, is not derived from equus, as it might at first sight be supposed.
