SCENE V.
The Sound of French-Horns is heard, as at the Death of the Stag; after which Endymion enters with Attendants.Endymion.
The glorious Chace is o'er—the well breath'd Hounds,
Who closely o'er the tainted Dews pursu'd
The fainting Stag, now round their noble Prey
All op'ning stand, and triumph in his Fall;
While tuneful Horns responding to their Cries,
Make up the Sylvan Consort.

How pleasing we find the gay Sports of the Field!
While thro' the Vales we are bounding,
The Hills our Cries resounding,
The musical Chace all its Pleasure does yield.
While thro' the Vales we are bounding,
The Hills our Cries resounding,
The musical Chace all its Pleasure does yield.
How delightful the Pause when the Stag stood at Bay!
But when his Flight renewing,
Again we were pursuing,
'Till we crown'd with Success the Sports and the Day!
