IV. 



See, the jungle verge is won ; 

 See, the grey boar dashing on ; 

 Bold and brave ones now are nigh ; 

 See him stagger, charge and die ! 

 Hurrah ! hurrah ! one bumper more 

 A bumper to the bristly boar !

Oriental Sporting Magazine,' 

 October, 1830. 



DASH ONWARD, MY STEED ! 



Dash onward, my steed, while the crowd creeps 

 behind us, 



The boar leads the way, and we're bound to pursue ; 

 Tho' vengeful and swift, never doubt but he'll find us 



Both able and willing to dare and to do. 

 Like the lightning that flies from its home in the 

 heaven, 



And strikes into ashes the tower and tree, 

 So deep in his heart shall our spear-blade be driven ; 



Then onward, my Arab, bound onward with me.
