242 HISTORY OF THE BRAMHAM MOOR HUNT. 



the Bramham Moor country when the hunting season came 

 round, and it is for this reason that I give it : — 



' See Starkey and Hopwood, so full of their jokes, 

 From Bramham Moor come to be quizzing the folks ; 

 And when they return the whole chase they'll explain, 

 Though they saw little of it, to crony Fox Lane.' 



The gentlemen alluded to in this verse are Mr. James 

 Starkey, of Fellifoot, Westmoreland, and Mr. Hopwood, of 

 Hopwood, Lancashire.
