594. A stag of ten. "Having ten branches on his antlers" (Scott). Nares says that antlers is an error here, the word meaning "the short brow horns, not the branched horns;" but see Wb. Cf. Jonson, Sad Shepherd, i. 2: "Aud a hart of ten, Madam, I trow to be;" and Massinger, Emperor of the East, iv. 2: "He'll make you royal sport; he is a deer Of ten, at least."
