Misprizing what they look on, and her wit
Values itself so highly that to her
All matter else seems weak.”

But every son would have his motor cycle,
And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”

And ride upon their backs. He trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoll’n that met him.”
