The day frowns more and more—thou’rt like to have
A lullaby too rough. I never saw
The heavens so dim by day.
[Storm, with a sound of dogs barking and hunting horns]
A savage clamour!
Well may I get aboard!—This is the chase;
I am gone for ever!
[Exit pursued by a bear]

Antigonus famously exits “pursued by a bear” in Act 3 Scene 3 of The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare. (via oupacademic)
