Inscription on the Handle of a Fox's Brush, mounted and presented by the Author to Wilbraham Tollemache, Esq.

Feb. 20, 1841.
We found our fox at Brindley; thrice that week
The gorse was drawn, and thrice with like success.
For nigh two hours, o'er many a mile of grass,
We chas'd him thence to Dorfold, where he died.
Tollemache! in admiration of thy skill'd
And gallant riding to the pack that day,
To thee I yield the Brush, esteem not thou
The trophy less thus proffer'd by a friend.
