I agree with your second answer, but not the first.

<i> The poem might be summarised thus: the speaker addresses the world, claiming that if anyone should choose (‘list’) to go hunting, the speaker knows of a hind (female deer), but the speaker must count himself out of the chase. This is all metaphor, of course: the ‘hind’ is really a beautiful woman, and the ‘hunt’ is the courtship of the woman. But this speaker has had enough, and knows he’s lost the chase. However, he cannot entirely give up, since whenever he tries to leave off, he finds himself pursuing her anyway ...</i>
