| William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Restoration Verse. 1910. | | | | Hunting-Song | | By John Dryden (1631–1700) |
| | | WITH horns and hounds, I waken the day, | |
| And hie to the woodland walks away; | |
| I tuck up my robe, and am buskined soon, | |
| And tie to my forehead a wexing moon. | |
| I course the fleet stag, and unkennel the fox, | 5 |
| And chase the wild goats o’er the summits of rocks; | |
| With shouting and hooting we pierce through the sky | |
| And Echo turns hunter and doubles the cry. | |
| |
Chorus With shouting and hooting we pierce through the sky | |
| And Echo turns hunter and doubles the cry. | 10 | | | |
