Actaeon outraged
Ambuscade, hounds, ambuscade? If Actaeon is a hart, his assassins are curs and cads. No field of honor, with hounds falling single file before powder and ball, only lycanthropes and filth.

Nebrophonus to the hart
Though curs, we are not obdurate; change is known also to the lowliest. That you were Actaeon is lost upon you; from this, our anger.

Signet
Wakeful, what watches, yet what quails physic? What worth your signet, Georgiana! What worth? With Aylmer, what chance Lucina's stamp? What the glyph, your gift, wards, bides.

Dulcet
Laud via conserve, Vatic. Tacit: portent, dulcet. Laud: explicit, of moment, heft. Portent hands tacit portent face. Vatic, laud portent hands dulcet, tacit sans Vatic.
