A Hart whom eager Huntens did infest,A shelter from kind Oxen did requestAmidst theyr cribb, wch. being granted, hee,Secures himselfe from ye, cheape scrutiny,
Of a dull Hinde, but when ye. Master scandWith ye. attacques of a more curious handThat skreene of blended straw, he straight deserysThe hunted beast, and renders him his prize.
Our ruin ost does from those Arts comenceOur feares at first contriv'd for our defence.
