Verse 1
The morning was charming, all nature looked gay,
Away my brave fellows! To horses away!
Gates, hedges and ditches unto us are no bounds,
The world is our home when we follow the hounds.
Verse 2
Our stag rose before us, most wishing to fly,
Our horsemen all mounted, our hounds in full cry;
Before the merry, merry horn sounds, come, come away,
Awake from your slumbers and crown a new day.
Verse 3
Here's a health to all hunters, may they long lead their lives,
And never be crossed by their sweethearts nor wives!
But to govern their own passions, and for ever be at rest,
For happy is the man that is always the best.
Refrain
But to govern their own passions, and for ever keep in bounds,
And see heaven at last when he sees no more hounds..
