Eccords of the Old Charlton Hunt 



1. 



Co3iE listen awhile 



Of Fox hunting I will sing 

 Which on our Sussex downs 



Is sport for any King 

 And to Sussex we will go, &c. 



2. 



That all men are sportsmen 



I hold for to be true 

 For some scent or another 



Each man he doth pursue 

 And a Hunting we will go, kc. 



3. 



Some Hunt after Riches 



While others seek the Chace 

 But they who love a keener sport 



Will hunt a pretty face 

 And a Hunting we will, &c. 



4. 



All on a Morning fair 



To Eastdean Wood we went* 



To hunt a Captain Fox 

 It being our Intent 



And a Hunting we did go, &c. 



* This song quite probably may have been descriptive of the Great 

 ChaBe of Jan. 26, 1738, from East Dean Wood.
