    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.
