Flies

I've waved away flies, why not you? Away, hounds; you're not greater than your Actaeon, and wasn't your Actaeon waved away? From the fountain's side I was waved away, though who waves away a hart?

Struck down

Struck down at the fountain's side I have no one you must look after me hounds I who looked after you from wolves and other harts defend me.
