For hungry man and hungry beast, "I knew it not, Who soon should fast no more, my friend," I said, " Yet I could tell a tale My little steed pricked up his cars, Of what with mine own eyes Ive seen And, as he roughly shied, In this saine Tanar vale.

Methought it was a dream. Now much I marvelled at the news, At length I called them loudly, And marvelled, too, my friend, But never turned they round. When I described the herd I'd seen I called again ; they showed no sign Of red deer without end. That they had heard the sound.
