The maiden-ash, beech, whortle, larch,

Nut-blooming hazel, and low birch.

Full many a time I’ve heard the horn,

Along those devious pathways borne,

When Sir Henry[21] swept the vale,

Reynard flew before the gale:—

Alas! I know not why or how

Sir Henry doth not hunt there now.

Still (fancy leads my muse to dwell

On scenes I loved so truly well)
