Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Distributed Proofreaders Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ AN EAGLE FLIGHT I have in this rough work shaped out a man Whom this beneath-world doth embrace and hug With amplest entertainment: my free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax; no levell'd malice Infects one comma in the course I hold; But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no track behind.
