"When the lazo was fafet to the saddle-girth , And a furious bull on the strain , Like forest-trees , fast and deep rooted in earth , Did thy limbs remain . *
When the bolas were whirling around my head , In the chase of the flying deer , Thou didst rival the truest bred Arab steed , In thy swift career , f When the lofty crags the guanacos scaled , At the head of the raxnfte , Their perilous daring naught availed , There wast thou seeii . J
The deep deep sound of the tong sea-beach , Where rolled the giant aurf , And the huge whale's hones were seen to bleach , To thee was as green turf . Thine arching neck , like a warrior ' s crest In the air was proudly reared \ And thy chiselled head , on thy broad bold breast , A sculptured form appeared *
To stride thee , was like some bright dream Of a shadowy glory playing Round a sea-god borne on the ocean-stream , With his sea-horse neighing . Woman ' s love has changed in her fondest mood , But there was no change in thee ; Whether lucerne rich , or shrubs thy food ; Thou wert true to rne . §

They strike the limbs of a running animal and wind round his legs . % The guanaco in a mountain-dweller , and will climb the most difficult heights . The best horses are required to hunt the animal .
$ Lucerne grass , called by the Arab name alfalfa , is the favourite food of horses in Chrta and Cuyo , where it is grown in irrigated meadows . But well-trained horses will eat bitter shrubs upon a pinch , and yet do work . The best Chileno horses are owed on the mountains , wh « r < j they learn to lift their limbs gracefully , and become hardy . At a subsequent period , the peasantry will breed them up about their house * like their children , and are as fond of them as an Arab can be . Horses thus fed last many years . I have ridden a horse thirty years old , which was as active at a coR .
