His free-born vigor, yet unbroke,

To lordly man’s usurping yoke,

The bounding colt forgets to play,

Basking beneath the noontide ray,

And stretch’d among the daisies pied,

Of a green dingle’s sloping side;

While far beneath, where Nature spreads

Her boundless length of level meads,

In loose luxuriance taught to stray,

A thousand tumbling rills inlay
