Tally-ho! tally-ho! they are in the chase now;

With roaring and yelling the woods are resounding,

O'er hedges and ditches like wild steeds they're bounding,

Through forests, through brushwood, through brambles, and brier,

No danger can daunt, no fatigue can them tire;

Till a beautiful deer lies defunct on the ground,

While the wolves are lip-smacking and howling around.

The next moment young Reynard aroused from its lair,

From just under their noses, a splendid large hare;

Who scampers away over two or more fields,
