NIMROD'S NORTHERN TOUR. 49 



*' We have seen a run tooether. 

 We have ridden side by side ; 

 It binds us to each other 

 Like a lover to his bride. 

 We have seen a run togetlier 

 When the hounds run far and fast, 

 We have harken'd by each other, 

 To the huntsman's cheering blast. 

 How gay they bustled round him, 

 How gallantly they found him, 

 And how stealthily he wound him, 

 O'er each break and woody dell. 



*' 'Twas from Keithvvick Broom we view'd him, 

 . -As he stole along the vale ; 



Though we cheerily hallooed him, 



'Twas to him a deadly wail ; 



By Lintrose we did pursue him 



Ddspite each fence and rill, 



Till his heart began to rue him 



On Haliburton hill. 



Oh, how they sped together, 



O'er the moor among the heather, 



Like birds of the same feather. 



And their music like a bell. 



** By Auckter House we hied him, 

 Still haunted by their cry ; 

 Till in Belmont park we spied him, 

 And we knew that he must die !
