[…] Shall I die like a leveret, Without any resistance?—Help, help, help! I am slain!
1686, Edmund Waller, “Of a Tree cut in Paper”, in Poems, &c. written upon several occasions, and to several persons by Edmond Waller, London: H. Herringman:
Fair Hand that can on Virgin-paper write, Yet from the stain of Ink preserve it white, Whose travel o’er that Silver Field does show, Like track of Leveretts in morning Snow;
As when two skilful hounds the leveret wind; Or chase through woods obscure the trembling hind; Now lost, now seen, they intercept his way, And from the herd still turn the flying prey: So fast, and with such fears, the Trojan flew; So close, so constant, the bold Greeks pursue.
