Note 400 — Chapter XXIV · SWORD-PLAY AND OTHER SPORTS. GARDEN, ETC.
Reading edition
When lo! from far I spy the furies of the Foot ball war: The 'prentice quits his Shop, to join the Crew, Increasing Crowds the flying Game pursue, Thus, as you roll the Ball o'er Snowy Ground, The gathering Globe augments with every Round. But whither shall I run? the Throng draws nigh, The Ball now skims the Street, now soars on High The dext'rous Glazier strong returns the bound, And jingling sashes on the Penthouse sound.[400]
