Made people glad and made their secret burn

As stars above seemed to shine and turn

No folly in him or guile to spurn

A marvel steed that makes the courser yearn

Soon cowering, crestfallen he'll unlearn

Read right or left new form in turn

8. His second if not grasped leaves affair
Beyond you where the path will twist and turn

9. So here's who I described, a marvel sight
Amazing the adept and wise to learn
