Yet often is evil but a braggart – that provoketh & will not fight.
And t. [the] weak hath quailed in fear, while t. [the] firm hath been glad
in his confidence.

---------------- [centered]

3 A horse knoweth his rider be he confident
or timid,
And t. [the] fierce spirit of Bucephalus stoopeth
unto none but Alexander;
The tigress roused in the jungle by the prying
spaniels of the fowler,
Will quail at the eye of man, so he as-
-sert his dignity;
Nay the very ships, those giant swans breasting
the mighty waters,
Roll in t. [the] trough, or break the wave
to the pilot's fear or courage.
