38 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Here's to friend George,^ the beau of Camp Hill, 

 A good one if fast be the chase, sir | 



To pass him I tell you requires as much skill 

 As Fieschi,^ when he won the race, sir. 



Here's to the Baron of Sawley,^^ so sly, 

 Here's to the horse that is black, sir — 



Forgetting that always a crow cannot fly, 

 He fell o'er a fence on his back, sir. 



Here's to Straubenzee^^ the dashing and bold, 

 Taking all in his stroke like a man, sir ; 



And the pith of the story remains to be told. 

 You can't shake him off from the "Van," sir. 



Here's to the Major,^^ the gallant and true. 

 In riding, to no one he'll yield, sir ; 



See, he brings by his side a young damseP^ in view 

 To beat half the men in the field, sir. 



Here's to the Dundas's^^ both Thomas and John, 

 They come but to make us remember 



How short is their stay, for to London they're gone 

 'Ere the end of the month of November. 



Here's to the young ones, whose race scarce begun, 

 Young Mark, and the ensign, ^^ his brother ; 



They show of a stock, most goodly they come 

 As they tread in the steps of their father. 



8 Mr George Sergeantson, who was not very particular as to 

 his " turn out." 



9 A horse belonging to Mr. Wormald, of Sawley Hall. 

 10 Mr. Wormald, and a horse he rode called " The Crow." 



12 Mr. Van H. Straubenzee, of Spennithorne.
