Hell-houndnoun
Etymology: helle hund, Saxon.

From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept
A hell-hound, that doth hunt us all to death. William Shakespeare, R. III.Now the hell-hounds with superior speed
Had reach’d the dame, and, fast’ning on her side,
The ground with issuing streams of purple dy’d. Dryden.I call’d
My hell-hounds to lick up the draff, and filth,
Which man’s polluting sin with taint had shed
On what was pure. John Milton, Paradise Lost, b. x.
