"Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? . . . The 

 glory of his nostrils is terrible. He pavveth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength ; he goeth 

 on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted ; neither turneth he back 

 from the sv.ord. . . . He svvalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage. . . . He saith among 

 the trumpets, Ha, ha! and he sraelleth the battle afar o£E, the thunder of the captains, and the 

 shouting." — Job xxxix. 19-25.
