And to make a Methody swear.

We leave our troubles and toils behind,

Forget if we've got gray hair—

A parcel of boys, all frolic and noise,

Bidding begone dull care.

Bellever week is the bravest, &c.

There's never a run so brimming with fun,

Nor a pastime that may compare,

For master or horse, o'er heather and gorse,

As hunting a Dartmoor hare.
