On ! ye wno knew his healtWul day, 

 And saw him make triumphant way 

 O'er frowning fence, o'er hill and dale,— 

 Saw him the swollen brook assail. 

 And with what ease he could efface 

 The various obstacles of Chase, 

 Say— Who could beat him in its race ? 



Avon, from the Sporting Magaxhi* 



Venatu invigilant pueri, silvasque fatigant ; 

 Flectere ludus equos, et spicula tendere cornu 

 At patiens operum parvoque assueta juventus, 

 Aut rastris terram domat, aut quatit oppida hello 

 Canitiem galea premimus ; nee tarda senectus 

 Debilitat vires animi, rautatque vigorem.— ViRa J?. .
