Shaggy, and lean, and shrewd, with pointed ears,
And tail cropp’d short, half lurcher and half cur-
His dog attends him. Close behind his heel
Now creeps he slow; and now, with many a frisk
Wide-scampering, snatches up the drifted snow
With ivory teeth, or ploughs it with his snout;
Then shakes his powder’d coat, and barks for joy.
