HART. 
Posthu . The swiftest harts have posted you by 
land: 
Cymbeline, Act ii. Scene 4. 
ROE. 
Princess . Whip to our tents, as roes run over land. 
Love’s Labour’s Lost. Act v. Scene 2. 
1 st Servant. Say, thou wilt course ; thy greyhounds 
are as swift 
As breathed stags, ay, fleeter than the roe. 
Taming of the Shrew, Ind., Scene 2. 
FOX. 
Ford. . . . Here, here, here be my keys : 
ascend my chambers, search, seek, find out : I’ll 
warrant we’ll unkennel the fox.— 
Merry Wives of Windsor, Act iii. Scene 3. 
Pompey . ’T was never merry world since, of two 
usuries, the merriest was put down, and the worser 
allowed by order of law a furred gown to keep him 
warm; and furred with fox and lamb-skins too, to 
signify, that craft, being richer than innocency, stands 
for the facing. 
Measure for Measure, Act iii. Scene 2. 
Lysander. This lion is a very fox for his valour. 
Theseus. True; and a goose for his discretion.
