Records of the Old Charlton Hunt 



appears a Mast Erect, of Monstrous height, 



on top of which fly's waving with the Wind, 



the Emblemattick Standard of the Queen 



of Woods, whose favrite Colour's always green, 



in which a Golden running Fox is seen, 



and near, in verdant Feild inclosd, thro' which 



the Lavant winding runs, and Lends his aid, 



to clean three spacious kennells for the hounds, 



who here all walke, to stretch their StifFned Limbs, 



and in this Feild, the Governor resides ; 



from whence he sees the JNIanagement of all. 



And here a regular Front, full South appears, 



a double Pallace, which three Freinds did rear. 



The Strong Cavendo [Devonshire] owns the part of one, 



Fauquier his Freind, in Attick Story Sleeps, 



young Furious H[arcour]t, did the other build, 



and great was the Expence and charge of both. 



Adjoining this a large old Fabrick stands, 



and three Northumber Youths, in that Do Dwell, 



then East of this, close by the Lavant side, 



a certain Br[igadier Honywood] has built his Hutt, 



here he, his Slaves, and Strong made Coursers all, 



with Pompey too, under one Thatch do Lye. 



'tis thus we're told, the Tartars fierce still dwell, 



fond of their Horses, of their dogs as fond ; 



some more there are, but not worth remark, 



where some, as little worth do sometimes come.
