BRITISH SPORTS
for the Amusement of
CHILDREN

Pheasant Shooting.

See the Fowler takes his aim,
To bring down the feather'd game;
September Season is the time,
When these birds are in full prime.

London.

Printed, Published & Sold by
W. Belch, Newington Butts.

Rabbit Shooting.

How happy & frisky the Rabbits appear,
Prancing & skipping without any fear;
But alas, their enjoyment is like to be short,
By the aim of a Gunner who seeks them for sport.

Badger Baiting.

Baited by Dogs, the Badger dies,
A cruel sport it thus supplies,
The Skin is by the Furriers bought,
And thus for gain & pleasure sought.

Horse Racing.

Goaded with Spurs they seem to fly,
Like lightning to the human eye;
Stretch out their necks to gain the post,
While thousands on the course are lost.

Stag Hunt.

The timid Stag with eager bounds,
Strives to escape pursuing Hounds;
In vain he flies he's doom'd to die,
Whilst shouts of Huntsmen rend the Sky.

Coursing.

They beat the Bush to find a Hare,
And thus for a long chace prepare;
Poor gentle Puss thy fate is hard,
And it with pity I regard.

Fox Chace.

The Fox is Reynard sly and cunning,
Often with our Poultry running;
To hunt him yields a manly sport,
And numbers to the chace resort.

Angling.

Angling will oft our patience try,
Ere we a dish of Fish supply;
Yet many love the rural sport,
And to the Brook or Lake resort.
