68 POPUi.AR SONGS.
No hill, no dale, no glen, no mire,
No dell, no night, no storm,
No earth, no water, air, nor fire,
Can do wild Huntsmen harm.
We laugh at what the living dread.
And throw aside our shrouds,
And off we go, &c.
Oft, when by body-snatchers stol'n,
And surgeons for us wait.
Some honest watchmen take the rogues,
To be examined straight ;
We slip away from surgeons, and
From Police-office crowds.
And off we go, with a ho ! so— ho !
A— hunting in the clouds.
With a hey, ho, chivey !
Hark forward ! hark forward, tantivy ! &c.
THE GALLANT TROUBADOUR.
Written by Sir TFalter Scott, Arranged to a Freneh
Air.
Glowing with love on fire for fame,
A Troubadour, that hated sorrow,
Beneath his lady's window came.
And thus he sung his last good morrow :
*' My arm it is my country's right.
My heart is in my true love's bower ;
Gaily for love and fame to fight,
Befits the gallant Troubadour !"
*The revival of Der Freischutz at the Theatre-Royal
during the past week, must be deemed a suflicient excuse
— should any be required — ior the many lyrics dependent
on that Opera, which occur throughout our present num-
bw.
