HUNTING SONGS 



V 



No alarm the most timid old gentleman feels. 

 Babes may perambulate, hunting on wheels ; 

 Dyspepsy and gout the amusement may share, 

 So go it, ye cripples ! and take a Bath chair. 



VI 



The use of the milestone, now coaching is done. 

 Is to measure exactly the length of a run ; 

 While each tap on the road they alternately try. 

 Till Tom sees two double with only one eye. 



VII 



With such sport has this mud-larkinglatelysupplied 'em. 

 The Huntsman has call'd his crack horse Rodum- 



Sidum, 

 Who dare say these hounds have had nothing to do, 

 Highwayside for their fixture the whole season 



through ? 

 1856.

I 



WHEN the war with our Muscovite foemen 

 was o'er. 

 Then the Offs and the Koffs came to visit our shore ; 

 Their hard and stern features your heart would appal, 

 But the face of Count Warnoff was sternest of all ; 

 A terrible man was Count WarnofF ! 

 As cold as the snow 

 That envelops Moscow 

 Was the heart of this horrid Count Warnoff!
