Kenilworth

CHAPTER IV
3/16

But be not over-greedy, Anthony--covetousness bursts the sack and spills the grain.

Look you, when the huntsman goes to kill a stag, he takes with him more dogs than one.

He has the stanch lyme-hound to track the wounded buck over hill and dale, but he hath also the fleet gaze-hound to kill him at view.
Thou art the lyme-hound, I am the gaze-hound; and thy patron will need the aid of both, and can well afford to requite it.

Thou hast deep sagacity--an unrelenting purpose--a steady, long-breathed malignity of nature, that surpasses mine.

But then, I am the bolder, the quicker, the more ready, both at action and expedient.
