Next chimney chops Aston, using arms, spur, and whip, 

 To keep MoU Cook's legs from plunging each grip ; 

 Makes he on to three rails, where sticks little Hugo, 

 Who, glad to give way, says, " Pray Sir, do you go." 

 So Smut breaks his neck, and young Master Hug 

 Slides over as snug as a bug in a rug. 

 Then Commodore Harvey, on horse he can't guide. 

 Bears to the same gap, at a seamanlike stride ; 

 Steers o'er the dead lubber, and makes three fresh wounds. 

 And at the next place kills all the tail hounds. 

 The lads of Quorendon for me. 



Then next, with a star on, see Bassador Gordon, (lo) 

 And over his shoulder a fine flaming cordon ; 

 And racing against him, see stare-about Stair; (n) 

 Why old Nick himself never saw such a pair. 

 The lads of Quorendon for me. 



Then whence these goose-drivers, all in a row. 



Leading their tits on the furlongs below ? 



'Tis Cranberry,! 1 2) George,(i3) and Saint Le Hedger (14) 



from Grantham, 

 Who always get dos'd with their quotums and quantum. 

 The lads of Quorendon for me. 



Then far in the rear we see Saville, forlorn, 

 All legs, laps and lappets, sobbing on Boan ; 

 How they stick in the mud; whilst Bedford's great Duke, 

 With Brommell, is sticking in Sysonby brook. 

 The lads of Quorendon for me. 



10. Sir William Gordon, Ambassador to Vienna. 



11. Ambassador to Poland ( John, 5th Earl of Stair, born 1749 ; died iSai. 

 Succeeded to the title 1789, which shows the song to be written after that 

 date). 



12. Sir Carnaby Haggerstone, commonly called Cranberry Tart. 

 ( Succeeded 1777 ; died 1831.) 



13. Lord George Cavendish (who with Mr. Boothby was at first the only 

 other subscriber to Mr. Meynell's hounds.) 



14. Colonel St. Ledger.
