Press boldly on, in wanton, sportive mood, 

 Correct his haste, and let him feel, abash'd, 

 The ruling whip. But if he stoop behind, 

 In wary modest guise, to his own nose 

 Confiding sure, give him full scope to work 

 His winding way, and with thy voice applaud 

 His patience and his care ; soon shalt thou view 

 The hopeful pupil leader of his tribe, 

 While all the listening pack attend his call.
