Act I vpon the sand of the sea (altum oceanum oracula) a wolfe of the euenings shall spoile them (furari spes et somnia) an exceeding great armie (exercitus mortuorum) iii. Act II scattereth the hoare frost like ashes (tacet terra) Foxes haue holes, & birds of the ayre haue nests (avem visum est) Deepe calleth vnto deepe (canticum piscibus) iv. Act III Aesop's Dream Vision (ager silva et palus) "A heavy silence shall descend upon the field, forest and fen. Memory will be devoured, the old songs forgotten." Contra Quattuor Creaturas Viventes By Ysengrim 216 AD "Wild animals know, therefore, what is beneficial to them, whereas you, man, have no knowledge of your remedies. You do not know how to snatch power away from your ad- versary, so that he, like a wolf taken by surprise, is unable to escape. You are unable by the eye of your mind to outwit his treacherous designs, to obstruct his flow of speech, and dull the edge of his impudent display of rhetoric. If he comes on you by surprise, he will deprive you of your power of speech." Hexameron by St. Ambrose "Time robs us of all, even of memory; oft as a boy I recall that with song I would lay the long summer days to rest. Now I have forgotten all my songs. Even voice itself now fails Moeris; the wolves have seen Moeris first. Still Menalcas will repeat you your songs. Often as you will."
