Then, like a melancholy malcontent,
He veils his tail that, like a falling plume,
Cool shadow to his melting buttock lent:
He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume.
His love, perceiving how he is enraged,
Grew kinder, and his fury was assuaged.
垂头丧气心不平，
骏马撒尾似飞花，
脽烧获爽赖阴影：
踏蝇嗜虫怨气发。
青駹恚愤入騇目，
安抚温柔方息怒。
