Roger
, being at present too old for Fox-hunting, to keep himself in Action, has disposed of his Beagles and got a Pack of
Stop-Hounds
. What these want in Speed, he endeavours to make amends for by the Deepness of their Mouths and the Variety of their Notes, which are suited in such manner to each other, that the whole Cry makes up a compleat Consort
. He is so nice in this Particular that a Gentleman having made him a Present of a very fine Hound the other Day, the Knight returned it by the Servant with a great many Expressions of Civility; but desired him to tell his Master, that the Dog he had sent was indeed a most excellent
Base
, but that at present he only wanted a
Counter-Tenor
.
