  21. With a little old driver, so lively and quick, / I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick./ More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, / And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; // created by r.a.marifosque

  22. "Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! / On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!/ To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! / Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" // created by r.a.marifosque
