% p. o E T R Y. 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.
