	2. The wife around her husband throws Her arms to make him stay— " My dear! it rains, it hails, it blows, You cannot hunt to-day." But a-hunting we will go, &c.	3. The uncavern'd fox like lightning flies, His cunning's all awake, To gain the race he eager tries, His forfeit—life—the stake. When a-hunting we do go, &c,

	H. 4868.
