The GENERAL HUNT.
A Favourite Song.
i.
TO horse, ye jolly fportfmeu,
And greet the new born day;
Incessant, lo! thro’ nature’s field ,
Each creature hunts his prey.
And a hunting, See. \
11.
Dame Nature teaches Reynard craft, j
T* o’er-reach the feather’d flocks;
And we pursue the chiding dogs,
While they run down the fox.
lilt
Mankind hunt one another;
Your great men hunt the fmau
Some bunt for Heaven, and some for Hell;
Old Satan huuts us all.
IV.
Some fain would hunt for honour,
A game that’s hard to find ;
The < eedy hunt for charity,
And may go hunt the wind.
V.
Our patriots loudly bellow
The nation’s defp’rate case,
While all their stir and buftle’s made*
In hunting out a place.
VI.
Full cry the Tories hunt the Whigs,
Who in their turn pursue;
And running one another down,
Run down their country too.
„ VII.
The lawyer hunts out quibbles,
. Your title to maintain*,
lie’ll hunt the right till it be wrong,
Then hunt it back again.
VIII.
The toper daily hunts his pot,
Both care and sense to drown j
Whilst gamesters hunt another’s purse,
And lose light of their own.
IX.
The lafles hunt their lovers,
Each lover hunts his lass;
The fop, in chace of his dear face,
Hunts out his looking glass.
X.
O’er hill and dale, with hound and horn*,
Let’s hunt, boys, while *tis light ;
Then joyous we’ll o’er flowing bowls,
Revive the chace at night.
And a hunting, &c.
Amcdott of the Ducbefs of Klngfl'ov.
WHEN that Lady was Miss Chudleigh,
flic obtained for her mother from
George 11. a suite of chambers at Hampton
Court. The King meeting her soon after
the levee, afleed her how her mother liked
her new apartments. ♦* Perfeftly well, Sire,
in point of air and situation, if the poor wo
man had but a bed and a few chairs to put in
them.” « O then, (fays the King) let her
have them by all means,” and immediately
gave orders for furnifliing her bedchamber.
When the bill for the furniture was brought
to the proper officer of the household, he found
this bed and afe*i v chairs amounted to the
film of four thoujand pound:, which he refufed
paying till he ihewed it to the King. His
3Vlaj'd\ immediately saw how he was taken
in, but it was too late to retiacf ; he accord
ingly gase orders for the payment, observing
at the fame time, that, if Mrs. Chudleigh
found the bed as hard as he did , flie would not
be so ready to lie down on it.
