The stag was brought before his wife ; The tender lady begged his hfe. How sleeks the skin ! how speckd hke ermine ! Sure never creature was so charming ! … At first within the yard confindHe flies and hides from all mankind;Now bolder grown, with fixd amazeAnd distant awe, presumes to gaze ;Munches the linen on the lines.And on a hood or apron dines. 393 THE TAME STAG.
