This one has me stumped. But I am now getting oil changed i. Wifey's car and my best book on the subject is on my nightstand. I was going to say Frederick Funston. But there had to be someone there hightre than him. And he actually was military. In a sense.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
