SUDBURY HUNT VERSES. 15 



VERSES BY LORD CURZON UPON SUDBURY HUNT, 



1797. 



Domino Vernoni ct Vcnatoribus suis 

 Hoc in lionore pone. 



Videre canes ; en Laneus ardens, 

 Talbotus et Vernon; velox cum Patre Levitus ; 

 FitzHerbertque sagax ; et acuta voce Laleus ; 

 Curzonusque inter postremos, ultimus ille ; 

 Quosque referre mora est ; ea turba cupidine prcedoe 

 Qua via difficilis, quaque est via nulla sequuntur. 



A HUNTING SONG. 



By Lord Vernon. — 1797. 



Time — " A hunting we will go." 



Let's celebrate our noble chace, 



Our jovial sportsmen all ; 

 Long may we thus ourselves solace, 



And never get a fall. 



Chorus — And a hunting, etc. 



Bold Baron Curzon salies (sic) forth 



On Quaker or North Star ; 

 And having of their sense no doubt, 



Takes many a fence and bar. 



Chorus — And a hunting, etc. 



His son when free from law and Pitt, 



At Christmas time comes down; 

 And will (if Vickars * will permit) 



Ride either bay or brown. 



Chorus— And a hunting, etc. 



The Reverend Talbot, sportsman true. 



And ever calm and steady ; 

 The chace with judgement does pursue ; 



In drafting ever ready. 



Chorus — And a hunting, etc. 



The parent of our hunt, old Dick f 



We'll greet with cordial glee ; 

 Tho' now he chiefly makes a nick 



That he more sport may see. 



Chorus— And a huntiug, etc. 



Governor of Hagley. t Dick FitzHerbert.
