300 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Determin'd, at length, to unearth him again. 

 And finish him up at the mouth of the drain. 

 Still reynard escap'd, but in minutes a few. 

 He was gaily turn'd up by the pack at Great Tew. 



Having nam'd in this letter his fall and disaster, 

 I now must record a kind act of the Master. 

 A poor little lamb his death-wound lay abiding, 

 In a gateway, at which perhaps sixty were riding ; 

 Coming up at good speed, and beholding its danger, 

 Jump'd off, and took up in his arms the young stranger ; 

 Convey' d the poor lambkin, with countenance mild. 

 As one who had rescue! a favorite child. 

 And placed little baa ( I relate it with pride,) 

 Safe under a hedge its fond mother beside. 

 Whilst the Farmers cry'd ' Bravo !' the action to grace. 

 The Master remounted to follow the chace ! 



In this trait what an excellent moral we find — 

 How feeling the heart — how exalted the mind ! 



BY WHOO-WHOOP. 



Mar. 18. — Met at Oakley- wood, we unkenneled a stout 

 and crafty old fox, that led us briskly for Warwick Park, 

 which he passed through and made for Wasperton. He 

 left that place to the right, and then short back to Oakley 

 Wood, through the wood, on for Mr. Court's, of Middle 

 Hill ; turned short for Wasperton again, and direct on to 

 Charlecote Park. Here he crossed the water, and was 

 hallood away to Wellesbourne-wood, but as the scent would 

 not lie on the ploughed ground, we drew off the hounds, 

 and took them home, after a a cry fair day's sport. The 

 hounds behaved very well.
