And yet the Hare got cleanly from them all.
I would not for a hundred pound in faith, But that she had escaped with her life; For we will winde a merry hunters home, And starte her once again tomorrow morne. _Turq_. In troth my Lord, the little flocked[26] hound, That had but three good legs to further him, Twas formost still, and surer of his sent, Then any one in all the crie besides. _Vesu_. But yet _Pendragon_ gave the Hare more turnes. _Alber_. That was because he was more polliticke, And eyed her closely in her coverts still: They all did well, and once more we will trie, The subtile creature with a greater crie. _Enter Allenso, booted_. _Duke_. But say, what well accomplished Gentleman Is that that comes into our company? _Vesu_. I know him well, it is _Fallerios_ sonne, _Pandynos_ brother (a kinde Gentleman) That dyed and left his little pretty sonne, Unto his brother's[27] good direction. _Duke_. Stand close awhile, and overheare his wordes; He seemes much over-gone with passion. |
