On Arias of Tarsus, Victor in the Stadium.

The Speed of Arias, Victor in the Race,
Brings to thy Founder, Tarsus, no Disgrace:
For able in the Course with Him to vie,
Like Him he seems on feather'd Feet to fly.
The Barrier when he quits, the dazzled Sight
In vain essays to catch him in his Flight.
Lost is the Racer thro' the whole Career,
'Till Victor at the Gaol he re-appear.
