1. By God—what a chestnut horse! Should the east wind race him

    for a single fathom’s length, it would surely fall upon its hands and mouth.

  2. And as though he—with a black necklace upon him—were

    a fire blazing in the heart of a love-enthralled man;

  3. or a black coal, part of it set alight,

    in which you would behold a chestnut horse within a black one.

  4. And when he is put to the gallop, it is as though he were

    a lightning bolt fleeing through patches of a dark night.

Sol 5.6
