Hellhound

Mary's dog lay peacefully outside her bedroom door. However, whenever Tom came creeping up to see Mary, who was sleeping inside, the dog became a terrifying hellhound that wouldn't let a soul pass.

From forth the kennell of thy wombe hath crept / A Hell-hound that doth hunt vs all to death:

Barricading serves not: fly fast, ye Bodyguards; rabid Insurrection, like the hellhound Chase, uproaring at your heels!
