Play’d hunt’s up for the day-star to appear.—Drayton.
The following is the parody from the “’Compendious Booke of Godly Songs.’”
“With hunts up, with hunts up,
It is now perfite day;
Jesus our King is gane in hunting;
Quha (who) likes to speed they may.
“Ane cursit fox lay hid in rox
This lang and mony ane day,
Devouring sheep, whilk he might creep;
Nane might him shape away.
