On a log, expiring frog!
Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
With wild halloo, and brutal noise,
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With a dog, expiring frog!
Ch. xv.
Hunter (The Mighty), Nimrod; so called in Gen. x. 9.
Proud Nimrod first the bloody chase [war] began,
A mighty hunter, and his prey was man.
Pope, Windsor Forest (1713).
