HUNTING SONGS 



Beyond the Tweed on fishing bent. 

 Or brewing on the banks of Trent, 

 We trust their boat may like their ale 

 Henceforth maintain a steady sail. 



Epitaph 



ON THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S CHARGER, " COPEN- 

 HAGEN," so NAMED FROM THE CIRCUMSTANCE 

 OF HIS HAVING BEEN FOALED IN THE YEAR OF 

 THAT BATTLE. HE WAS BURIED AT STRATH- 

 FIELDS AYE, FEBRUARY 1 836 



WITH years o'erburden'd, sunk the battle 

 steed ;— 

 War's funeral honours to his dust decreed ; 

 A foal when Cathcart overpower'd the Dane, 

 And Gambier's fleet despoil'd the northern main, 

 'Twas his to tread the Belgian field, and bear 

 A mightier chief to prouder triumphs there ! 

 Let Strathfieldsaye to wondering patriots tell 

 How Wellesley wept when " Copenhagen " fell. 



I 



Epitaph 071 A. S. C. by X. T. Z. 



LAID his bones beneath the greenwood tree. 

 And wept, like schoolboy, o'er my A. B. C.
