Strana 37 - With flowing tail, and flying mane, Wide nostrils never...
Strana 24 - When lanch'd, as on the lightning's flash, They bade me to destruction dash, That one day I should come again, With twice five thousand horse, to thank The count for his uncourteous ride. They...
Strana 38 - His first and last career is done ! On came the troop — they saw him stoop, They saw me strangely bound along His back with many a bloody thong. They stop — they start — they snuff the air, Gallop a moment here and there, Approach, retire, wheel round and round...
