L Ong ere the Morne expects the returne of Apollo from the Ocean Queene: Before the creak of the Croe or the breake of the day in the Welkin is seene, Mounted Idelia cheerfully makes to the Chase with his Bugle cleere: And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hounds and the Musicke of his Careere. Oft doth he trace, through Wood, Parke and Chase, when he mounteth his Steed aloft: Oft he doth runne beyond farre his home, and deceiveth his pillow soft: Oft he expects, yet still hath defects, for still he is crost by the Hare: But more often he bounds to the cry of his Hounds, and doth thunder out his Careere. Hercules Hunted and spoyled the game, wheresoever he made his sport: Adon did Hunt but was slaine by the same, through Junoes bad consort: Nepthaly to, did the Hart over goe, and he purged the Forrests there, When his horne did redound, the noise to the hound, he did thunder out his Careere.
Now bonny Bay with his foame wareth Gray, deepe Gray waxeth Bay with blood: White Lilly tops, doth send for their Caps, blacke Lady makes it good: Sorrowfull Watte , her widowes estate, forgets these delights to heare, And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hound, and doth thunder out his Careere. Hilles with the heate of the Galloppers sweate, Revives their freezing tops: Dales purple flowers, the spring from the showers, which downe from the Rowels drops: Swaines they repast, and Strangers they hast, no neglect when our Hornes they heare: To see a fleete packe of Houndes in a sheete, and the Hunter in his Careere. Thus he Careeres ore the Moores, or the meeres, over deepes, over Downes and Clay: Till he hath wonne, the day from the Sunne, and the evening from the day, Sports then he ends, and joyfully wends home to his Cottage, where Frankely he feasts both himselfe and his Guests, and carowseth to his Careere.

E Arely in the morne, when the night's overworne, and Apollo with his golden beames: The Day-starre overtakes, and Cinthia forsakes, to frolike with his silver streames. We with our delights, and the Haggard in our flights, that afronts the Celestiall Spheare: With lures and with traines, we gallop ore the plaines, to beholde a Cancecleere. From the fist shee goes, and her nimbly throwes, to out-flye the whistling winde: Onward still amaine, over bush over plaine, till her Gelding gen faintly she findes: An upshot then she makes, till the cloudes she overtakes, her ambition rests not there: But mounting still she flies, like a Phoenix in the skies, and comes downe with a Cancecleere. Mounting in the Skie, to the shape of a Flye, like a sparke of Elementall fire: Upward then she tends to make good her place amends, till the Retriese gives her desire: No Swallow, nor dove, their clipping wings can move like her when i'the Cloudes they appeare: She comes downe from above, like the thunderbolt of Jove , and doth stoppe with a Cancecleere.
Both young and olde prepare, to the sport that is so rare from their weary labour comming for to see: Lifting up their eyes from the Plaines to the Skies, where the wonders of the Welkins be: The Spirits of the Ayre in huddles doe repaire, the Musicke of the Bels for to heare, And quickly flye apart affrighted at the heart, when she stoopes to the Cancecleere. The Mallard with complaints in her golden feathers faints while the Haggard with the coy disdaine: Tryumphant in her prey, concludes the Evening gray with a pleasant and a lovely gaine: Homeward then we wend, & the twilight then we spend in discourse our delights to heare: We tast the Quaile we kild, and carowse in what is fill[d] which goes round with a Cancecleere.
