Dogs.
See Flight. Hunting.
Nor be thy Care of Dogs the last: but feedWith fatt'ning Whey the brave Molossian Race,
And the fleet Spartân: Never (while they watch)
The nightly Thief, or Inroads of the Wolf,
Or ravaging Iberian, shalt thou fear.
Oft too with Hounds the timerous wild Ass
Thou shalt pursue: With Hounds the Hare, and Hind:
Oft from his wallowing Beds in Thickets rouse
The sylvan Boar, and chase him in full Cry:
And o'er the lofty Mountains, with a Shout,
The stately Stag into thy Toils impel.—
