Of the combat betwixt the Fox and the Wolf, the event,

assages, and victory.
ey OP)

WuEN none but the combatants were in the
lists, the wolf went toward the fox with infinite
rage and fury, and thinking to take the fox in
his forefeet, the fox leaped nimbly from him
and the wolf pursued him, so that there began
a tedious chase between them, on which their
friends gazed. The wolf taking larger strides
than the fox often overtook him, and lifting up
his feet to strike him, the fox avoided the blow
and smote him on the face with his tail, so that
the wolf was stricken almost blind, and he was
forced to rest while he cleared his eyes; which
advantage when Reynard saw, he scratched up
the dust with his feet, and threw it in the eyes
of the wolf.

This grieved him worse than the former, so
that he durst follow him no longer, for the dust
