"Take heed, Sir Thomas," said Sir Francis Weston, the knight who held the staff on the other side, "or we shall have the canopy down. Let Sir Thomas Arundel relieve you." "No," rejoined Wyat, recovering himself; "I will not rest till we come to the bridge." "You are in no haste to possess the kerchief," said Anne petulantly. "There you wrong me, madam!" cried Sir Thomas eagerly.
He then shouted to Fenwolf to call away and couple the hounds, and, striking off the deer's right forefoot with his knife, presented it to Wyat. Several large leafy branches being gathered and laid upon the ground, the hart was placed upon them, and Herne commenced breaking him up, as the process of dismembering the deer is termed in the language of woodcraft.
The demon uttered a low bitter laugh as he received back the flask, and he slung it to his girdle without tasting it. The effect of the potion upon Wyat was extraordinary.
He was acknowledged to be the gallantest man, the politest lover, and the completest gentleman of his time. And as to Wyat, his friend Surrey most amiably testifies of him, that his person was majestic and beautiful, his visage 'stern and mild; that he sung, and played the lute with remarkable sweetness; spoke foreign languages with grace and fluency, and possessed an inexhaustible fund of wit.
This very night your kingly rival shall be placed in your hands." "Ha!" exclaimed Wyat, the flame of jealousy again rising within his breast. "You can make your own terms with him for the Lady Anne," pursued Herne. "His life will be at your disposal." "Do you promise this?" cried Wyat. "Ay," replied Herne. "Put yourself under the conduct of Fenwolf, and all shall happen as you desire.
"Give me the oars, thou malapert knave!" cried Wyat fiercely, "and I will put myself ashore." "Keep quiet," said Fenwolf; "you must perforce abide our master's coming." Wyat gazed at the keeper for a moment, as if with the intention of throwing him overboard; but abandoning the idea, he rose up in the boat, and caught at what he took to be a root of the tree above.
Mabel's shrieks, as she was dragged away, reached his ears, and increased his anguish; and he called out loudly to her companions to return, but his vociferations were only treated with derision. Finding it useless to struggle further, Wyat threw himself upon the bench, and endeavoured to discover some means of deliverance from his present hazardous position.
You must also swear implicit obedience to me in all things to execute any secret commissions, of whatever nature, I may give you to bring associates to my band and to join me in any enterprise I may propose. This oath taken, you are free. Refuse it, and I leave you to perish." "I do refuse it," replied Wyat boldly. "I would die a thousand deaths rather than so bind myself.
"My errand is a strange and adventurous one," replied Wyat. "You may have heard that before I departed for France I passed some days in the forest in company with Herne the Hunter. What then happened to me I may not disclose; but I vowed never to rest till I have freed this forest from the weird being who troubles it."
He then mounted his steed, and, attended by Wyat and the rest of his troop, except those engaged in executing his orders, galloped towards Snow Hill, where he speedily succeeded in unharbouring another noble hart.
