Maister Basse his Careere , OR The new Hunting of the Hare . To a new Court tune .

LOng ere the Morne expects the returne of Apollo from the Ocean Queene : Before the creak of the Croe or the breake of the day in the Welkin is seene , Mounted Idelia cheerfully makes to the Chase with his Bugle cleere : And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hounds and the Musicke of his Careere . Oft doth ha trace , through Wood , Parke and Chase , when he mounteth his Steed aloft : Oft he doth runne beyond farre his home , and deceiueth his pillow soft : Oft he expects , yet still hath defects , for still he is crost by the Hare : But more often he bounds to the cry of his Hounds , and doth thunder out his Careere . Hercules Hunted and spoyled the game , wheresoeuer he made his sport : Adon did Hunt but was slaine by the same , through Iunoes bad consort : Nep●haly to , did the Hart ouer goe , and he purged the Forrests there , When his horne did rebound , the noise to the hound , he did thunder out his Careere . Now bonny Bay with his foame waxeth Gray , déepe Gray waxeth Bay with blood : White Lilly tops doth send for their Caps , blacke Lady makes it good : Sorrowfull Watte , her widowes estate , forgets these delights to heare , And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hound , and doth thunder out his Careere . Hilles with the heate of the Galloppers sweate , Reuiues their fréezing tops : Dales purple flowers , the spring from the showers , which downe from the Rowels drops : Swaines they repast , and Strangers they hast , no neglect when our Hornes they heare : To sée a fléete packe of Hounds in a shéete , and the Hunter in his Caréere . Thus he Caréeres ore the Moores , or the méeres , ouer déepes , ouer Downes and Clay : Till he hath wonne , the day from the Sunne , and the euening from the day , Sports then he ends , and ioyfully wends home to his Cottage , where Frankely he feasts both himselfe and his Guests , and carowseth to his Caréere . FINIS .
The Faulconers Hunting . To the tune of Basse his Careere .

EArely in the morne , when the night 's ouerworne , and Apollo with his golden beames : The Day-starre ouertakes , and Cinthia forsakes , to frolike with his siluer streames . We with our delights , and the Haggard in our flights , that afronts the Celestiall Spheare : With lures and with traines , we gallop ore the plaines , to beholde a Cancecléere . From the fist shée goes , and her nimbly throwes , to out flye the whistling winde : Onward still againe , ouer bush ouer plaine , till her Gelding gen faintly she findes : An vpshot then she makes , till the cloudes she ouertakes , her ambition rests not there : But mounting still she flies , like a Phoenix in the skies , and comes downe with a Cancecléere . Mounting in the Skie , to the shape of a Fire , like a sparke of Elementall Fire : Upward then she tends to make good her place amends , till the Retriefe giues her desire : No Swallow , nor doue , their clipping wings can moue like her when i' the Cloudes they appeare : She comes downe from aboue , like the thunderbolt of Ioue , and doth st●●pe with a Cancecleere . Both young and olde prepare , to the sport that is so rare from their weary labour comming for to sée : Lifting vp their eyes from the Plaines to the Skies , where the wonders of the Welkins be : The Spirits of the Ayre in huddles doe repaire , the Musicke of the Bels for to hears , And quickly flye apart affrighted at the heart , when she stoopes to the Cancecléere . The Mallard with complaints in her golden feathers faints while the Haggard with the coy disdaine : Tryumphant in her prey , concludes the Euening gray with a pleasant and a louely gaine : Homeward then we wend , & the twilight then we spen● in discourse our delights to heare : We tast the Quaile we kild , and carowse in what is fill● which goes round with a Cancecleere . FINIS .
