At last he sneaked off and through Urswick churchyard,
He listened to the singers as I’ve heard them say,
But the rest of the service he could not well stay.
The dogs coming up made Reynard look sly,
Then he marked out his tricks for to give ’em the by;
They being bred to their business they managed their cause
And they made him submit to their attention close.
Through Kirkby and Woodland they nimbly passed,
Broughton and Dunnerdale they came to at last,
Then down across Duddon to Cumberland side,
