The Book of the Horhe. 



Ah ! don't they mean mischief, the merciless ladies ! 



What fox can escape such implacable foes ? 

 Of the sex cruel slaughter for ever the trade is, 



Whether human or animal— Yonder he GOES ! 

 Never more for the woodland 1 his purpose has failed him, 



Though to gain the old shelter he gallantly tries ; 

 In vain the last double, for Jezebel 's nailed him ; 



Whoohoop ! in the open the veteran dies !
