The Senses the steeds, and the things of sense
The ways they trample on. So is the Soul
The Lord that owneth spirit, body, will,
Mind, senses, all; itself unowned. Thus think
The wise!
“He who is unwise drives with reins
Slack on the neck o’ the senses; then they romp,
Like restive horses of a charioteer.
“He that is wise, with watchful mind and firm,
Calms those wild Fire, so they go fair and straight,
