How quick the blood circulates in the 

 vigorous youth, and, at the unexpected fight 

 of the Hare, how nimbly pants the heai^t 

 with furprifing tranfports, till then unfelt ? 

 How are the fpirits cheared, the long con- 

 gealed blood warmed of limping age, the 

 memorable exploits of twenty-fix brought 

 full into view, and feebly mimicked at 

 threefcore and ten ? How are both young 

 and old loft in delightful enchantments,

 (as if funk into the earth) deceives the un- 

 experienced eye, and creeps to a quat, 

 Thefe are raptures unenjoycd in Fox or 



any
