’Till I explor’d the spot,
And found by dint of heels my steed
To the rear rank had got.
First three I found on Thropton Hill,
There basking with their brood;
The rest were seen from Snitter Mill,
Past Cartington to crowd:
From Silverside, by Lorbottle,
To Trewhit Mains I march’d,
By Netherton, through Screnwood Dell,
