Far other Thoughts young Theron's Bosom fire,
Far other Joys his noble Breast inspire:
No idle Pleasure charms the youthful Peer,
Except the Pleasure of a Charioteer:
Firm seated in the Box, he smoaks along,
The Jest and Wonder of the gazing Throng.
Dextrous as Racers on Olympian Plains,
He sounds the clashing Whip, and shakes the loosen'd Reins:
Proud to survey the Wheels impetuous roll,
While all the Coachman's Glory warms his Soul.
Far other Joys his noble Breast inspire:
No idle Pleasure charms the youthful Peer,
Except the Pleasure of a Charioteer:
Firm seated in the Box, he smoaks along,
