An Active Swain to make a Leap was seen
Which sham’d his Fellow Shepherds on the Green,
And growing Vain, he would Essay once more,
But left the Fame, which he had gained before;
Oft did he try, at length was forc’d to yeild
He stove in Vain, – he had himself Excell’d:
.
(S)o Nature once in h{E}r Essays of Wit,
(I)n S{H}akespear took the {S}hepherd’s Lucky Le{A}p
(B)ut o[VER-S]trai{N}ing in the gre[A]t Effort,
(i)n [D]ryden, and t[H]e rest, has since fell Short.
