Round-hoofed, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,
Broad breast, full eye, small head, and nostril wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide:
Look what a horse should have he did not lack,
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.

When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind
To suffer with the body.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;The valiant never taste of death but once.
