They'll make the snow fly, and they'll dash through the mud; And for hounds, their merits with thousands they'll back, Not Deveraux, Storrs, nor Livingston can show such a pack. Forty Stags are laid low, at forty rods how they fall' Forty bucks are made venison, by the keen hunter's ball. Forty saddles now smoke, on the plentiful board.

I have often heard Mr. Ogden describe these hunts, and he said the music of the fox - hounds reverberating and echoing from hill to hill, now the lone cry of a single hound, and then swelling into the full chorus by the whole pack - with the wild speed of the horses, and the frequent crack of the rifle at the run-ways, was a scene of adventure and excitement never to be forgotten.
