{ Then, as he rolled his troubled eyes around,

{ An antique stone he saw, the common bound

{ Of neighbouring fields, and barrier of the ground—

So vast, that twelve strong men of modern days

He heaved it at a lift, and, poised on high,

Ran staggering on against his enemy,

But so disordered, that he scarcely knew

His way, or what unwieldy weight he threw.
