Hyale and Actaeon
HYALE: You only of all Her imbruted went eagerly.
ACTAEON: I was not eager.
HYALE: You seemed to fall into a hart eagerly.
ACTAEON: I seem a hart; am I a hart through and through?
[ACTAEON stops to vomit.]
HYALE: It is the berries Artemis fed you.
ACTAEON: I ate nothing; I was fed nothing; I was besprent; I am being led to my doom.
HYALE: A hart is not your doom?
ACTAEON: Only if you are to accompany me unendingly.
HYALE: I leave. Had I stayed, your dogs may have shunned us.
ACTAEON: Their nails will not uncover Actaeon; they will shun me still.
