Since fowlers hawk, shoot, nay and snare the game,

And yet eschew vile practice, nor find sport

In torch-light treachery or the luring owl.

But how hunts Guido? Why, the fraudful trap—

Late spurned to ruin by the indignant feet

Of fellows in the chase who loved fair play—

Here he picks up its fragments to the least,

Lades him and hies to the old lurking-place

Where haply he may patch again, refit

The mischief, file its blunted teeth anew,
