human eye,
Stretch out their necks to gain the post,
While thousands on the course are lost.
[Illustration]
STAG HUNT.
The timid Stag with eager bounds,
Strives to escape pursuing Hounds;
In vain he flies he's doom'd to die,
Whilst shouts of Huntsmen rend the Sky.
[Illustration]
COURSING.
They beat the Bush to find a Hare,
And thus for a long chace prepare;
Poor gentle Puss thy fate is hard,
And it with pity I regard.
[Illustration]
FOX CHACE.
The Fox is Reynard sly and cunning,
Often with our Poultry running;
To hunt him yields a manly sport,
And numbers to the chace resort.
[Illustration]
ANGLING.
Angling will oft our patience try,
Ere we a dish of Fish supply;
Yet many love the rural sport,
And to the Brook or Lake resort.
