While the heath-cover’d mountains re-echo’d the strain:

Hark, hark! was the mandate, we flew like the wind,

And care’s haggard visage was distanc’d behind:

What joys can be equal to those we display,

When we follow the harriers with hark, hark away!

With hark, hark away, &c.

Like the soldier return’d from a far hostile shore,

Recounting his toils and his victories o’er,

Of the battle’s loud din, where his courage so true,

Obtain’d the green laurel, entwining his brow.
