Where the good yeoman bends his bow,
And the tough wrestler foils his foe,
As well as where, in proud career,
The high-born tilter shivers spear.
I’ll follow to the Castle-park,
And play my prize;—King James shall mark,
If age has tamed these sinews stark,[302]
Whose force so oft, in happier days,
His boyish wonder loved to praise.”
