THE STAGG AT BAY,

A Hunting SONG, IN Apollo and Daphne.

[_]

Sung by Mr. Ray, in the Character of a Huntsman.

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.

144

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.

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.
