The hot scent-snuffing hounds are driven to doubt,

Ceasing their clamorous cry, till they have singled

With much ado, the cold fault cleanly out,

Then do they spend their mouths; echo replies,

As if another chase were in the skies.

“By this poor Wat far off, upon a hill,

Stands on his hinder legs with listening ear,

To harken if his foes pursue him still:

Anon their loud alarums he doth hear,

And now his grief may be compared well
