Look upon Spirit as the rider! take
The body for the chariot and the Will

The Lord that owneth spirit, body, will,
Mind, senses, all. Itself unowned.
Thus think the wise!
He who is unwise, drives with reins
Slack on the neck o' the senses, then they romp
Like restless horses of a charioteer.
He that is wise, with watchful mind and firm,
Calms these wild fires, so they go fair and straight
Like well-trained horses of a charioteer.
