as a   "Dr. Grey, making a slight alteration in the text, renders, ""as a dog to the chain, and as a deer, till a dart strike through his liver;"" and Dr. Hunt, ""Or as a hart boundeth into the toils, till a dart strike through his liver.""

The circumstance of the dart, as applied to the deer, is beautiful and proper, which otherwise we are at a loss to dispose of; and this creature, of all others, was the most proper to be noticed on this occasion; for the usual representation which the Egyptians made of a man overthrown by flattery and fair speeches was the picture of a heart captivated and ensnared by the sound of music."
