My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, So flu'd so sanded, and their heads are hung With ears that sweep away the morning dew. Crook-knee'd and dew-lap'd like Thessalian bulls, Slow in pursuit, but match'd in mouths like bells, Each under each: A cry more tuneable Was never holla'd to, nor chear'd with horn.
I couldn't look round to see what became of him; I only saw him start. Half-way down the hill a policeman holla'd to me to stop. I heard him shouting out something about furious driving.

At that she ran, and the pig after her, and as the pig ran it holla'd aloud, so that the place rang with it. "I wish I had been there with my gun," said I. "I guess that pig would have holla'd so as to surprise himself."
