Rh She receives them as the laws of nature receive them—
 * she is strong,

She too is a law of nature—there is no law stronger
 * than she is.

His shape arises, Arrogant, masculine, näive, rowdyish, Laugher, weeper, worker, idler, citizen, countryman, Saunterer of woods, stander upon hills, summer
 * swimmer in rivers or by the sea,

Of pure American breed, of reckless health, his body
 * perfect, free from taint from top to toe, free
 * forever from headache and dyspepsia, clean-breathed,

Ample-limbed, a good feeder, weight a hundred and
 * eighty pounds, full-blooded, six feet high, forty
 * inches round the breast and back,

Countenance sun-burnt, bearded, calm, unrefined, Reminder of animals, meeter of savage and gentleman
 * on equal terms,

Attitudes lithe and erect, costume free, neck gray
 * and open, of slow movement on foot,

Passer of his right arm round the shoulders of his
 * friends, companion of the street,

Persuader always of people to give him their sweetest
 * touches, and never their meanest,

A Manhattanese bred, fond of Brooklyn, fond of
 * Broadway, fond of the life of the wharves and
 * the great ferries,

Enterer everywhere, welcomed everywhere, easily
 * understood after all,

Never offering others, always offering himself, corroborating
 * his phrenology,
