Hunt. Hunter.

None more, The choice affected, or t'entoil the bore, The tops of Mountains scale, And trace the leavie woods, Follows the cry of hounds, And drives the hair along the fallow grounds, Wakening the pratling eccho—sounds, And shrill Alarums of the foul mouth'd hounds, VVhilst hounds do make the woody hills, Talk in an hundred voices to the rills. The savage and the bloody sport Of chaste Diana—that loves to set The toils, and chase the Deer into the net, VVhose choicest musick is the cry of hounds. Quick-sihred Beagles in a view, O'r hill and dale, the fleeing chace pursue The sented trace. The babling eccho mocks the hounds Takes pleasure in his pale enclosed grounds, And lets the Rhetorick of his deep mout'd hounds Perswade his head-strong sorrows so to flie Before his herd, as they before the cry.

••e quick-nos'd army with their full mouth'd sounds ••••sue the timerous hare, ••e mournfull Eccho left off to bemoan ••••r Loud Narcissus, and with them made one. Busie in pursuit of savage spoils, ••e drave the Deer into his corded toils, ••ith purple blood, slain Deer the hills imbrue * 1.1 ••••y tread the mazes of the pathlesse wood.
