THE STAGG AT BAY,
A Hunting SONG, IN Apollo and Daphne.
Away, away! the Stagg's at Bay,
The Hounds are waiting for their Prey;
The Huntsman's Call invites ye all,
Come in, come in Boys! while you may.
The Hounds are waiting for their Prey;
The Huntsman's Call invites ye all,
Come in, come in Boys! while you may.

The Horn shall be the marry'd Man's Fee,
And let him take it not in Scorn;
The Great and Sage in ev'ry Age,
Have not disdain'd to wear the Horn.
And let him take it not in Scorn;
The Great and Sage in ev'ry Age,
Have not disdain'd to wear the Horn.
The jolly Horn, the Rosy Morn,
The Harmony of deep mouth'd Hounds:
These, these! my Boys, are Heavenly Joys;
A Sportsman's Pleasure knows no Bounds.
The Harmony of deep mouth'd Hounds:
These, these! my Boys, are Heavenly Joys;
A Sportsman's Pleasure knows no Bounds.
