PICTURE OF THE CHESHIRE HUNT 



IX 



Charley Cholmondeley, made known how, in 



Wellesley's campaign 

 When the mail arriv'd loaded with laurels from 



Spain, 

 How cheers through the club-room were heard to 



resound. 

 While, upfill'd to the brim, the Quassitum went 



round. 



X 



Let Wicksted describe and futurity learn 

 All the points of a hound, from the nose to the stern ; 

 He whose joy 'tis to dance, without fiddle or pipe. 

 To the tune of Who-whoop with a fox in his gripe. 



XI 



Say, Dorfold's black Squire, how, when trundling 



ahead. 

 Ever close to your side clung the Colonel in red ; 

 He who, charge what he would, never came to a 



hitch, 

 A fence or a Frenchman, it matter'd not which. 



XII 



Let Cornwall declare, though a long absentee. 

 With what pain and what grief he deserted High 



Legh ; 

 How he car'd not to prance on the Corso at Rome, 

 While such sport Winterbottom afforded at home.
