with ropes. 

 It appears of landing safely we may entertain good hopes. 

 But we must take farewell of those we leave the other

 As on the sodden grass we leap with thankfulness and 



pride. 



Now after such adventures and disasters who could 



guess 

 That we found our trouble wasted — was there ever such 



a mess ? 

 We galloped down the old Foss road, we galloped o'er 



the plough, 

 But hounds and huntsman all are gone — we cannot hear

The gallant fox swam back, they say, and lives to run 



again, 

 And if we're there to hunt him we'll forgive the broken 



chain. 

 The sportsmen on the other side who saw the evening's 



run 

 With us will wish these hounds good luck and " years 



of future fun."
