"My riding is better, by their leave"--Why does the lover in "The Last Ride Together" think so?

The rejected lover has failed to get the lady love as his future partner of life .He has been offered only a last ride with her .Wille riding , he compares his lot with that of the statesman ,poet , soldier ,and so on .


The lover paints the intensified feeling and warmth of their riding , and claims that even the kings , and the monarchs cannot dream of that kind of blessing .


The service and sacrifice of a soldier , after his death in the front , find memorial in engraved -stones . Again the dedication of a statesman to his country  after his death , gets tribute d in some famous daily s .


But , the riding , in which they enjoy the bliss of Heaven in earth remains above all worldly achievements .
