If you have a Mind to tand, y'are better Arm'd; And then y’are Fleeter if you'll Run fort. I can't Imagine what hould make you o Fearful of a Company of Pityful Currs. Nay, ays the Stag, ‘tis All True that you ay, and 'tis no more then I ay to my elf Many Times, and yet whatever the Matter is, let me take up what Reolutions I pleae, when I hear the Hounds once, I cannot but betake my elf to my Heels.
