Scarcely had they taken their stand in a line with several of their servants, when they saw a huge boar, closely pressed by the hounds and followed by the huntsmen, making towards them, grinding his teeth and tusks, and scattering foam from his mouth.

Lo mesmo hizo el duque con su venablo; pero a todos se adelantara la duquesa, si el duque no se lo estorbara.
