heading in green ink: The Polish Rider.
symbol in green ink: Ŧ "Does he ride to a bridal, a triumph, a dance or a fray, That he goes so alert yet so careless, so stern and so gay? Loose seat in the saddle, short stirrup, one hand on the mane Of the light stepping pony he guides with so easy a rein. What grace in his armour barbaric! sword, battle, axe, bow, Full sheaf of long arrows, the leopard- skin flaunting below. Heart-conqueror, surely - his own is not given, awhile. Till she comes who shall win for her- self that inscrutable smile. What luck has his riding, I wonder, romantic and bold?
symbol in green ink: Ŧ F. M. Cornish.
