Hounds a-slaver
Who is all a-slaver? Not I, not Actaeon; only one and each of my hounds is a-slaver, all a-slaver. I, while the huntsman and while the hart, neither was nor am a-slaver. They slaver at their Actaeon, I who slaver at none — of court, none; of bourne, none — I who am adjudged intolerable.


The Armored Guest
Your charger has fled, armored guest. Against what, this armor? Am I, a maiden unattended, armored against any guest (bidden, unbidden) soever? Have I armor at the fountain's side, any raiment soever? Your charger has fled; the hoariest sophist must do without such a brain. You, equal with a sage, and not yet in dust! Sage guest, to whom am I equal? Not yet fled, you are speechless. I am equal to the moon, the fount tells me. What have you to tell?


Hounds, their clamor
My hounds? They were changed into blades of grass, for their clamor disturbed a bather who is the moon. Blades of grass; a hart ate them; I shot the hart; here he is; I have no hounds.
