"Now the antler'd monarch springs From his lair in tangled glade ; Now through waken'd forest rings Echo with the music made ; Now the bass of manly throat (As the bounding staggart flies) Mingles with the softer note, As some dame or maiden tries With her silv'ry voice to cheer Laggard hound, who panting hies Baying deeply in the rear;"
