The wanton courser thus with reins unbound

Breaks from his stall, and beats the trembling ground;

Pamper’d and proud, he seeks the wonted tides,

And laves, in height of blood, his shining sides

His head, now freed, he tosses to the skies;

His mane dishevell’d o’er his shoulders flies;

He snuffs the females in the distant plain,

And springs, exulting, to his fields again.—Pope’s Homer.

Fa. You have said very well; but this is not a definition, it is a description.

Ch. What is the difference?
