| ...Sometimes a horse I'll be, sometimes a hound, a hog, a headless bear, sometimes a fire; and neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire at every turn | |

| Why do they run away? This is a knavery of them to make me afeard. | |

| I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me, to fright me, if they could. But I will not stir from this place, so what they can. I will walk up and down here, and will sing... | |
