When he runs, he is a fox in his stride,
But when a fox bounds o’er a sandy place,
Or a wolf of a raiding pack, racing at a furious pace,
Or the lord of 'Adia his fore-feet doth raise,

With two flanks, two shoulders, and withers,
With elbows firm and hocks in rapid race,
His forequarters set in a chest like a millstone on its leather mat.
Plunging along like grindstones swift in chase
