Of Seville on his back, and hurl’d him down

Headlong to the earth. The noble animal

Rejoicingly obey’d my hand to shake

His recreant burthen off, and trample out

The life which once I spared in evil hour.

In yonder field, and then I may go rest

In peace, ... my work is done!

And nobly done!

Exclaim’d the old man. Oh! thou art greater now
