Moves our free course by such fix’d cause

As gives the poor mechanic laws?

Enough, I sought to drive away

The lazy hours of peaceful day;

Slight cause will then suffice to guide

A Knight’s free footsteps far and wide,—

A falcon flown, a greyhound stray’d,

The merry glance of mountain maid:

Or, if a path be dangerous known,

The danger’s self is lure alone.”—
