Young Clifford, the hunter, who rode on that day,
From Barden's strong portals first hasted away;
His horse was the fleetest that e'er trod the moss,
And the best that the streams of a river could cross:
Whether hounds were pursuing the fox or the boar,
He seldom was left on the wild heathy moor.
From Barden's strong portals first hasted away;

And the best that the streams of a river could cross:
Whether hounds were pursuing the fox or the boar,
He seldom was left on the wild heathy moor.
