Comjiton, but again turning, he dashed up the vale on to 

 Itehington Heath. Here he pointed for Chesterton Wood, 

 which he left al)out a furlong to the right, and took at a 

 desperate pace away to Moreton Morrell, and onto Walton, 

 where getting safe to ground, he was allowed to remain for 

 another day. 



Mr. Richard Bloxsidok, on a horse called Jostler, 

 which Mr. Shirlky hoiight in a day or two after for £"200 ; 

 and several other gentlemen of the old school were well 

 up at the deatli.

 and another little horse named Ttirk^ one of the right sort, 

 for a good round sum, when Mr. Shirley di.sposed of his 

 stud.

' Taiitin' the luuitsinan he starts for the chase, 

 In g-ooil humour, as fresh as the morn, 

 ^\'hile health and litlarity beam from his fare, 

 At tlie sounil of the mellow-ton'd horn.' 



To-day we met a goodly rank. 

 And quickly drew the covert, blank ; 

 Then to Edge Hill — fell, vengeful place — 

 Where men chas'd men, we foxes chase ! 

 A fine old fox we found — and one 

 Who would not stop — away he's gone ; 

 'Twas clear, from such a splendid burst, 

 No second rater would be frst !
