A Hart flying the Huntsman, tooke himselfe to a stall, and intreateth the Oxen, that he might have licence▪ to hide himselfe in the crib, the Oxen say they cannot be sure, for both the Master and the Servant will be present anon: he saith that he would be secure, so that
they would not betray him, the ser∣vant entreth in and seeth not the hidden Hart under the hay, and go∣eth forth againe: then the Hart be∣ginneth to rejoyce and nothing now to feare: then one of the Oxen, grave both for age and counsel, saith, it was an easie thing to deceive the servant who is as blind as a Mole, but that thou mayest escape my Master who is most sharp in sight, this is the matter, this the paine: incontinent afterwards the Master cometh in, who that he might redresse the o∣versight of the servant, looking on all things with his eyes, and groping the crib with his hand findeth the hornes of the Hart under the hay, he calleth in his servants, they come running to him, and lay hands on the fierce Hart and kill him.
