20 THE SKY-LARK.
The cordial takes its merry round,
The laugh and joke prevail,
The huntsman blows a jovial sound,
The dogs snuff up the gale.
The upland winds, they sweep along,
O'er fields through brakes they fly,
The game is rous'd, too true the song,
This day a stag must die.
With a hey ho ! &c.
Poor stag, the dogs thy haunches gore,
The tears run down thy face,
The huntsman's pleasure is no more,
His joys were in the chase.
Alike the sportsman of the town,
The virgin game in view,
Are full content to run them down,
Then they in turn pursue.
With a hey ho ! &c.
QUINTETTO.
You gave me your heart t'other day,
I thought it as safe as my own;
I've not lost it, but what can I say?
Not vour heart from mine can be kftown.
