Wash Tempest with broth now the weather is dry, 



Sess ! hck her, they'll soon make her clean. 

 See Thankful is bitten right over the eye, 

 Ah Hester, you sinner, don't try to look shy. 

 You know very well what I mean. 



Put Namesake in couples, and Bonny as well 



Leave Magic at home for to-day, 

 Yes, Dewdrop, all right, oh I know you can tell 

 Which pocket the biscuits are in by the smell, 



Here catch it, you will have your way. 



Here lope, come and walk, now a turn in the lane, 



Here Diligent, gently my lass. 

 See Bonny's fore leg has got over the chain. 

 She looks like the sort to hunt Salisbury Plain, 



Put them over to me on the grass. 



" The hares by the kennel are thick, I declare, 



" See there is one crossing the way, 

 " Come Bob, make a noise, crack your whip in the air, 

 " We dont want to hunt through the crops, have a care, 



" No Loafer, no hunting to-day. 



*' We ought to keep talking and making a row," 



I mention to Bob as we go, 

 " A talkative woman would help us I trow, 

 " With her tongue on a swivel," Bob answers "Ah now, 



" She'd scatter the hares that I know."
