Brewer's: Lyme-hound

and Gaze-hound. The stanch lyme-hound tracks the wounded buck over hill and dale. The fleet gazehound kills the buck at view.

“Thou art the lyme-hound. I am the gazehound. ... Thou bast deep sagacity and unrelenting purpose, a steady, long-breathed malignity of nature, that surpasses mine. But then, I am the bolder, the more ready, both at action and expedient. ... I say shall we hunt in couples?” —SirW.Scott: Kenilworth, chap. iv
