54 The Chase 



4 



The field to all is open, whether clad in black or 

 red, 



O'er rail and gate the feather-weight may thrust his 

 thorough-bred ; 



While heavier men, well-mounted, though not fore- 

 most in the fray, 



If quick to start and stout of heart, need not be far 

 away. 



Chorus. 



5 



And since that joy is incomplete which Beauty 



shuns to share, 

 Or maid or bride, is skillM to ride, we fondly 



welcome there ; 

 Where woodland hills our music fills, and echo 



swells the chorus. 

 Or when we fly with a scent breast-high, and a 



galloping fox before us. 



Chorus.

AMILE-and-a-half of grass, some six or eight 

 fences, and the sustained brilliancy of the 

 pace, had their usual effect on the moving panorama. 

 A turn in his favour, of which his old experience 

 has prompted him to take every advantage, enables 

 Mr. Sawyer to pull Hotspur back to a trot and 

 look about him. He is in a capital place, and has 

 every reason to believe the new horse is a " flyer."
