He saw the rage of youth; he saw the pride,

And felt that both would lessen or subside;

His Tendons stiff grew pliant by the use

That relaxation in the young produce;

And, when he grew more eager for the fight,

It did not yield his Rival such delight.

When he could bravely in the Action mix,

He backward drew with scientific Tricks, 220

And watched and waited, till in Harry’s face

He saw a Smile betok’ning his Disgrace.
