 Cries handsome Edward Thynne ; (7)

 By Jove, I must nick in 1 " 



He said, then urged his gallant steed. 



No fence for him too high ; 

 He look'd the true bold hunter bred — 



" Toiks, yoiks, the fox shall die ! " 



'• Maher (11) and Moore (12) still take their stand 



High in the list of fame, 

 And friendship wreathes the social band 



With Musgrave's (13) sporting name. 



Melton ! again that sportsman's town 



Boasts many a noble guest ; 

 Statesmen and heroes of renown

And Groodricke's (14) lend a grace. 

 For fame to waft from pole to pole 



The triumphs of the chase.
