By night 'tis best To reap light stubble, and parched fields by night; For nights the Suppling moisture never fails.
"The Georgics"
Virgil
All that life, and fun, and romping, All that frisking, and twisting, and coupling, While slowly our poor friend's leaves were swamping, And clasps were cracking, and covers Suppling!
"Browning and the Dramatic Monologue"
S. S. Curry
He made a most picturesque guide as he rode ahead of them, always in view, completing a thousand typical combinations of man and horse and landscape-now Suppling in his saddle to look down and a little backward at some "sign," now trotting straight towards a dark opening among the pines, now wheeling swiftly to mount a sudden ascent on the trail.
"The Captain of the Gray-Horse Troop"
Hamlin Garland
