	THE HUNT IS UP
	The east is bright with morning light, And darkness it is fled, And the merry horn wakes up the morn To leave his idle bed. Behold the skies with golden dyes Are glowing all around ; The grass is green, and so are the treen All laughing at the sound. The horses snort to be at the sport, The dogs are running free, The woods rejoice at the merry noise Of hey tantara tee ree! The sun is glad to see us clad All in our lusty green, And smiles in the sky as he riseth high To see and to be seen. Awake all men, I say again, Be merry as you may; For Harry our king is gone hunting, To bring his deer to bay. Chappell. From Mustek's Delight on the Cithern. 1667.
