And may take you in.
THE MERRY GREEN WOOD.
An "Epping Forest" Chorus.
"For ever and again the Corporation of London send down their protégés, the young City sportsmen who may, or may not, know how to load a gun, but who are very keen on 'Sport.' Then the herds are driven by beaters towards the gallant huntsmen, the forest re-echoes with the report of guns, and next day you can trace the whereabouts of the wounded bucks and deer by tracks of blood among the bushes, and by impressions on the grass where the maimed creature has fallen in its flight for life."—Pall Mall Gazette.
Chorus of Huntsmen.
Oh, we like,—we love the Merry Green Wood,
As should Huntsmen bold of the proper sort!
And we would hit the stag if we possibly could,—
As is meet with such palpable sons of Sport.
