muset ‎(plural musets)

1. A small hole or gap through which a wild animal passes; a muse.
   • 1593, William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis, lines 679-684:

     And when thou hast on foot the purblind hare,

     Mark the poor wretch, to overshoot his troubles

     How he outruns the wind and with what care

     He cranks and crosses with a thousand doubles:

     The many musets through the which he goes

     Are like a labyrinth to amaze his foes.
