Flee to some bosom where grief is unknown.
The Moment Aurora.
The moment Aurora had peept into the room,
I put on my clothes and call’d for my groom.
Will Whistle by this had uncoupl'd the hounds,
Who lively and (illegible text) frisk'd oe'er the grounds,
The horses are saddl'd, fleet Dapple and Grey
Seem'd longing to hear the glad sound, Hark away!
I put on my clothes and call’d for my groom.
Will Whistle by this had uncoupl'd the hounds,
Who lively and (illegible text) frisk'd oe'er the grounds,
The horses are saddl'd, fleet Dapple and Grey
Seem'd longing to hear the glad sound, Hark away!
’Twas now by the clock about four in the morn,
And we gallop’d off to the sound of the horn,
Dick Garter, Will Babble, and Tom at the Goose,
When all of a sudden out starts Mistress Puss,
Men horses, and dogs not a moment would stay,
And echo was heard to cry, Hark, hark away.
And we gallop’d off to the sound of the horn,
Dick Garter, Will Babble, and Tom at the Goose,
When all of a sudden out starts Mistress Puss,
Men horses, and dogs not a moment would stay,
And echo was heard to cry, Hark, hark away.
The chace was a fine one, she took o’er the plain,
Which she doubled, and doubled again
Till at last she took covert, return’d out of breath,
And I and Will Whistle were in at the death;
There in triumph of joy I the hare did display,
And call'd to the horn my boys, Hark, hark away.
Which she doubled, and doubled again
Till at last she took covert, return’d out of breath,
And I and Will Whistle were in at the death;
There in triumph of joy I the hare did display,
And call'd to the horn my boys, Hark, hark away.
FINIS.
