To horse! to horse! he quits, for ever quits[53]

A scene of peace, though soothing to his soul:[bl]

Again he rouses from his moping fits,

But seeks not now the harlot and the bowl.[bm]

Onward he flies, nor fixed as yet the goal

Where he shall rest him on his pilgrimage;

And o'er him many changing scenes must roll

Ere toil his thirst for travel can assuage,[bn]

Or he shall calm his breast, or learn experience sage.
