24 Orpheus Caledoniu Set
The darted Hare rins hard with fear^
Upon her Speed relying.
But yet her Strength, it fails at length,
Nae Beilding can fhe borrow
In Sorrel's Field, Cleckman or Hag^s^
And fighs to be in Tarrow,
Tor Rockwood, Ringwood^ Spoty^ Shag^
With Sight and Scent purfue her,
*Till ah ! her Pith begins to flag.
Nae cunnins can refcue her.
O'er Dub and Dyke, o'er Seugh and Syke
She'll rin the Fields all thorow,
'Till fail'd fhe fa's in Leader Haughs,
And bids farewell to Tarrow
Sing Erjlington and CowdenknowSy
Where Homes had anes commanding j
And 'Drygrange with thy milk white Ews,
Tvvixt ZW^^^and Leader (landing :
The Bird that flees throw Reedpath Trees,
And Gledfworth Banks ilk morrow,
May chant and fmg, fweet Leader Haughss
And bonny Howms of Tarrow. ,
But Minftrel Burn cannot afluage
His Grief; wiiileLifeenduretb^*
