MR. J. CORBET— 1804. 63 



the Stour, at Newbold, into Worcestershire. Then ran by 

 Armscott and Whimpstone Leys, and entered into the 

 county of Gloucester. Leaving Preston Bushes and Quinton 

 just to the right, he ran over Meon Hill, and stretched 

 across part of the Vale of Evesham, through the fine old 

 pastures of Mickleton, Norton, and Aston. Here the fox 

 vi^as very severely pressed by the hounds, and he was at 

 length Tallyho'd and ran into at the village of Weston, 

 about a mile from Broadway. I 



THE SAME, FROM ANONYMOUS— BY VENATOR. 



' Tho' high his brush he bear — tho' tipt with white 



It gaily shine — yet ere the sun declin'd 

 Recal the shades of night, tlie pampei-'d rogue 



Shall rue his fate revers'd.'

An excellent pack, primely season'd and steady. 

 In kennel well manag'd, in field ever ready ; 

 Affording to amateur Sportsmen, elate 

 At the prospect of fun, a delectable treat. 

 Confin'd in its limits the district, but yet 

 A fine Field of Horsemen this morning we met ; 

 With pride many Sportsmen this run will remember. 

 On a dull cloudy day i' th' month of December. 



From Wellesbourne, a fixture well known as a throw oiF, 

 Our fox broke away — a sure item to go off. 

 Who shys at a fence, or tails off as he goes. 

 May talk of the burst, but will ne'er see the close ! 



1 The best day's sport I ever saw. The place where the fox was 

 found was 16 miles from Weston, and above 20 from the farthest place 

 he ran during the chase.
