The Fox-Hunting .

UPon a Tuesday lately past , Before Aurora's breaking , The Huntsmen they did high them fast , And early were awaking : Before fair Phoebus it did shew The Hounds both swift and cunning , The Huntsmen they did make a Vow To find the Fox , and running From Burton and from Bishops Dale , As I hear'd them report it , Came Hounds that bravely run the train , And the Huntsmen then were sported ; There was Dido and Lovesy , Carvor and Tipsey , Spanker and Gentle was cunning , Rose and Bonny Lass were all in the chase , And Captain near to them running : Near Foxgill-head this Fox was laid , But when he heard them comming , Fast from his kennel then he fled , And was forc'd to try all his cunning : Then hey callalow to him , So cries the Huntsmen , Spanker and Gentle were cunning , Rose and Bonny Lass were all in the Chase , And Captain near to them running : This Fox for his rest fled towards the East , Near to Pressed-Hull as I heared ; But in the days of old there dwelt an old Priest Which made him the more to forbear it : Then hey call , &c : Then west he highs , and fast he flies , But the Hounds they still did pursue him , And in many a place for ten miles space The Huntsmen bravely did view him : Then hey call , &c. The Moor-hens cakled all for joy , The Snipe was highly mounted , The Plovers they both green and gray Rejoyce to see the Fox hunted ; Then hey call , &c. Near Buktin-Reake he waxed weak , And cunning ways was wealing , At last he stale into Crey-gill Where he did intend to feal him : Then hey call , &c : But the Huntsmen chanc'd him to espy , And off the Hounds they did hollow , Which came to them speedily , And fleetly the Fox they did follow . Then hey call , &c. Then by the Crey he teuke his way , And to the Scar-house so called , And westward still beyond Ker●gill , And near him the Hounds they followed : Then hey call , &c : The Maids by flocks cast down their rocks ▪ To view the Fox that 's so cunning , And Wives from their arms Threw down their barns To see the Fox a running . then hey call , &c : The Tup did skip , and the Hog did trip , And the Yews nothing did fear them , And eke the little lambs did leap within their dams For joy that the Hounds ran so near him . then hey call , &c. A Clergy-man I understand Unto this sport was hasted , Having a Psalm-Book in his hand , And at the fox he cast it . then hey call , &c. After the Fox the Pinfold leapt , But the Pinder was a wanting , And thorow the Chapel-yard he tript , Was not this a worthy hunting : then hey call , &c : A Thatcher chanc'd him to espy So many worthy chases , Then to out-houses he did high To find some lurking places : then hey call , &c. This Thatcher at him cast his knave , But yet the Fox he missed , He simple entertainment gave To one that was so distressed : then hey call , &c : But Dido had him on the wind , And from his kennel drew him ; And the rest of the helpers had a mind And about their heads they threw him . then hey call , &c. So cries the Huntsmen , Spanker and Gentle were cunning , Rose and Bonny Lass were all in the Cbase , And the Captain near to them running . Near Seven Kells this Fox was slain , As people much reported , A choaken wheat this was of late , I truly may report it . The Husbandman man cries Tantar-a-ran , And the Huntsman he rejoyces , At Hubberam they drank head and skin , And the Hounds they were praised by voices : The Duck and the Drake cries queke , quake , quake , And the Goose cried keeke most highly , And eke the Stagg did tread Before he did need for killing of the Fox so wildly , The Peacock fair , the Capon rare , The Turkey and the Day-cock ; The Poultrey all both great and small Rejoyceth at his good luck : Therefore be merry and glad , each jovial lad This Fox hath much offended , Fill us another cup , and we will cry who-up , And so our Hunting is ended .
