À mort! à mort!—The hunt is up and goes,

Beneath the acorn-dropping oaks, in green,—

Dark woodland green,—a boar-spear held between

His selle and hunter's head; and at his thigh

A good broad hanger; and one hand on high

To wind his horn, that startles many a wing,

And makes the forest echoes reel and ring.

Away, away they flash, a belted band

From Camelot, through the haze-haunted land:

With many a leamer leashed, and many a hound,
