ALL in a Morning fair, As I rode to take the Air, I heard some to hollow most clearly s I drew my self a near, To listen who they were. That were going a hunting so early. I saw they were some Gentlemen, Who belongd to th Duke of Buckingham, That were going to make their a Tryal; To run the Hounds oth North, Being of such Fame and Worth, England has not the like without all Denial. Then in Wreckledale Scogs, We threw off our Dogs In a Place where his lying was likely But the like ner was seen Since a Huntsman I have been, For no Hounds found a Fox more quickly.
There was Dido and Spanker, And Yonker was there, And Ruler that neer looks behind him, There was Rose and Bonny Lass Who were always in the Chace; These were part oth Hounds that did find him Mr. Tybbals cries away, Heark away heark away, With that our Foot huntsmen did hear him Tom Mossman cries God sounds Uncouple all your Hounds Or else we shall never come near him. Then Caper and Countess, And Comely were thrown off, With Famous Thumper and Cryer. And several Hounds beside, Where there Stoutness there was tryd And not one in the Pack did tire.
Our Hounds came in apace, And we fell into a Chace And thus we pursud the poor Creature, With English and French Horn We encouragd our Hounds that Morn An our Cry it was greater and greater It could not be exprest, Which Hound run the best, For they run on a Breast altogether; They run at such a Rate, As you have not heard of late, When they enjoyd him ith Vallies together Then to the Moor he wind Being clear against the Wind, Thinking he might have crossd it over, But our Hounds run so hard, They make this Fox afraid, And forcd him to turn to his Cover
Up the Hills he runs along, And his Cover was full strong; But I think he had no great Ease ont, For they run with such a Cry, That their Ecchoes made him fly Ill assure you our sport twas pleasant. Then homeward he hies And in Wreckledale he lies, Thinking the Wind it might save him, But our Hounds ran him so near, That they posted him with fear, And our Horsemen they did deceive him. For Squire Whitcliff rode amain And he whipt it ore the Plain; Mr. Watson his Horse did not Favour, They rode up the highest Hills, And down the steepest Dales, Expecting his Life for their Labour. Mr. Tybbals rode his part, Although this Chace was smart; Default they were at seldom or never But every by and by To the Hounds he would cry Halloo halloo halloo altogether. Tom Messman he rode short Yet he helpt us in our Sport, For he came in cursing and Swearing Bur when twas in his Power, He cryd out Lilly Whore, Heark to Caperman now Slaughtermans near him Then to Skipland Wood he goes, Being pursud by his Foes, Th Company after him did follow, An unterpage there we had, Which made our Huntsmen all glad, For we gave him many a holloo. The Sport being almost done And the Chace being almost run He thought to have crossd the River But our Hounds being in They after him did swim, And so they destroyd him for ever. Then Leppin took a Horn, As good as eer was blown, Tom Mossman bid him Wind his Death then, The Country People all, Came flocking to his Fall This was Honour enough for a French Man. So Whoo-up we then proclaimd, God bless th Duke of Buchingham, For our Hounds then had gaind much Glory, This being the sixth Fox, That we killd above the Rocks; And there is an End of the Story.
