"There oft is heard, at midnight, or at noon,

Beginning faint, but rising still more loud,

And nearer, voice of hunters, and of hounds;

And horns, hoarse-winded, blowing far and keen!

Forthwith the hubbub multiplies; the gale

Labours with wilder shrieks, and rifer din

Of hot pursuit; the broken cry of deer

Mangled by throttling dogs; the shouts of men,

And hoofs thick beating on the hollow hill.

Sudden the grazing heifer in the vale
