SCENE II
Reading edition
TIME: an hour later. PLACE: another part of the forest.
THE STAG. THE FAWN. THE HUNTER.
[The STAG is caught in a thicket by his horns. The FAWN looks at him pityingly.]
FAWN. A man is near! I hear him running!
STAG. I cannot free myself!
FAWN. Ah, if you only had no horns!
STAG. Or if they were only not so strong and not so grand!
FAWN. Your feet could save you then, dear father.
STAG. Go, child, and let your feet save you.
FAWN. I cannot bear to leave you, father!
STAG. Go save yourself! Go, go!
[The faun goes. The HUNTER enters.]
HUNTER. Aha! I have you now!
