Imagine Diana in gorgeous array, / How into the forests and thickets she flies, / With her hair in the breezes, and flushed for the fray, / How the very best riders she proudly defies.
Have you seen Theroigne, of the blood-thirsty heart, / As an unshod herd to attack he bestirs, / With cheeks all inflamed, playing up to his part, / As he goes, sword in hand, up the royal stairs?
