 I think every moment it is a long hour,
 * every hour as long as three,

Until the time my love does appear,
 * in the green bower for to meet me.
 * I think every moment, etc.

My love is dainty, tho' falſe hearts are plenty,
 * my love ſincere as when it was new,

As it grow's older it ne'er ſhall grow colder,
 * nor fade away like the morning dew.
 * My love is dainty, etc.

HE moment Aurora peept into the room, I put on my clothes and I call'd for my groom, Will Whiſde by this had uncoupl'd the hounds, Who lively and mettleſome friſk'd o'er the grounds, The horſes are ſaddl'd, fleet Dapple and Gray, Seem'd longing to hear the glad found, Hark away!

It was now by the clock about four in the morn, And we all gallop'd off to the ſound of the horn, Dick Garter, Will Babble, and Tom at the Gooſe, When all of a ſudden out ſtars Miſtreſs Puſs, Men, horſes, and dogs not a moment would ſtay, And echo was heard to cry, Hark! hark away.

The chace was a fine one, ſhe took o'er the plain, Which ſhe doubled, and doubled again, Till at laſt ſhe took covert, return'd out of breath, And I and Will Whiſtle were in at the death; There in triumph of joy! the hare did diſplay, And call'd to the horn my boys, Hark! hark away!
