Hard as
hurdle arms, with a broth of goldish flue
Breathed
round; the rack of ribs; the scooped flank; lank
Rope-over thigh; knee-nave; and barrelled shank -
Head and foot, shoulder and shank -
By a grey eye's
heed steered well, one crew, fall to;
Stand at
stress. Each limb's barrowy brawn, his thew
That
onewhere curded, onewhere sucked or sank -
Soared or
sank -
Though as a beechbole firm, finds his, as at
a roll-call, rank
And features, in flesh, what deed
he each must do -
His sinew-service where do.
He leans to it, Harry bends, look. Back, elbow, and
liquid waist
In him, all quail to the wallowing o'
the plough: 's cheek crimsons; curls
Wag or
crossbridle, in a wind lifted, windlaced -
See his
wind- lilylocks -laced;
Churlsgrace, too, child of
Amansstrength, how it hangs or hurls
Them -broad in
bluff hide his frowning feet lashed! raced
With,
along them, cragiron under the cold furls -
With-a-fountain's shining-shot furls.
