Spread o’er the plain, by the sweet frenzy seiz’d.

Look, how she pants! and o’er yon opening glade

Slips glancing by! while, at the farther end,

The puzzled pack unravel wile by wile,

Maze within maze. The covert’s utmost bound

Slily she skirts; behind them cautious creeps;

And in that very track, so lately stain’d

By all the steaming crowd, seems to pursue

The foe she flies. Let cavilers deny

That brutes have reason; sure ’tis something more,
