m THE WAEWICKSHIRE HUNT. L1820 



VII. 



For a mouient a sheep-walk now baffles tlie scent, 



See them stopping and questing, each tries where he went ; 



Tallio, Tallio, how they cautiously go. 

 Old "Vanguard ''* has hit it, no doul)t can remain, 

 Not a moment is lost, they're together again. 

 Tallio, Tallio, &c. 



VIII. 



Now, swift o'er yon valley, how motley the scene. 

 Here men want their horse?, there horses want men. 



Tallio, Tallio, very few seem to go. 

 One loses a shoe, and another votes lame, 

 Who is that in the hrooh ? Oh, ask not his name. 

 Tallio, Tallio, &c. 



IX. 



Once more, nobly struggling, poor reynard is viewed, 

 By few, save the pack, any longer pursued. 



Tallio, Tallio, how he labours to go. 

 Nor speed, plnck, nor cnnning the chase can prolong. 

 Whoop is the word, and whoop to my song. 

 Tallio, Tallio, &c. 



X. 



But how can your liard in the chase take delight, 

 In person too heavy, in pocket too light, 



Tallio, Tallio, he's a slow one to go ! 

 Since a seat in the saddle to keep he's unable. 

 Oh ! give him, in pity, a seat at your table. 

 Tallio, Tallio, 



May the Warwickshire pack ever gallantly go. 



{For the Ball.) 



Ere yet I am silent, or you may advance 



That my rhymes are but tediously hindering the dance, 



One wish I'll express, from all hearts let it flow. 

 May the fair maids who trip on the Avon's fam'd shore, 

 Still receive us with smiles when the chase is no more. 

 Tallio. Tallio, 



Those smiles make the heart of each sportsman to glow. 



* Vanguard. — This hound was by Vaulter, a famous hound, presented by Lord 

 Vernon to Lord MidJleton, out of Mr. Corbet's Traffic. He -was a first-class hound 

 either for hunting a cold scent or for fast running. He was so great a favourite of 

 Lord Middleton's, and so valuable as a stallion hound, that for some time he was not 

 taken out hunting ; but finally Harry Jackson obtained his lordship's permission to let 

 him run with the pack ou account of the valuable assistance which he would give
