HOWELL WOOD;[214] OR, THE RABY HUNT, IN YORKSHIRE,
FEBRUARY, 1803.
To the tune of "Ballynamonaora."
"Let those ride hard, who never rode before,
And those who always rode, now ride the more."
WHILST passing o'er Barnsdale,[215] I happen'd to spy,
A fox stealing on and the hounds in full cry;
They are Darlington's sure, for his voice I well know,
Crying forward—hark forward; from Skelbrook[216] below.
With my Ballynamonaora,
The hounds of old Raby for me.
