Ran faith without a break which learned eye

Could find at two-and-twenty years of age,

The twenty-two-years-old frank footstep soon

Assured itself there spread a standing-space

Flowery and comfortable, nowise rock

Nor pebble-pavement roughed for champion's tread

Who scorns discomfort, pacing at his post.

Tall, long-limbed, shoulder right and shoulder left,

And 'twixt acromia such a latitude,

Black heaps of hair on head, and blacker bush
