Wavy he comes, woolly, all at his ease,

Elegant, fashioned to foot with the deuce;

Nature's own prince of the dance: then he sees

Me, and retires as if making excuse.

Cub-hunting troops were abroad, and a yelp

Told of sure scent: ere the stroke upon noon

Reynard the younger lay far beyond help.
