And proved to be coed for the hunting Of drers,
For when | struck a track and sounded the pitch
My master was sure deer would catch.
My voice, it was clear-that, none could deny;
Some little dogs sung the double Ii;
l keyed mp my tune on the double 90,
While other dogs sung an octave below.
Ny lungs they were strong and my tune very plain,
l sung the mountain, the hills and the vale,
l sung 1t whenever l came to a trail
sung it all over where deer did run
For all men and boys who had knapsack and gun,
/ sung it smooth and bewitchingly plain
That thro sunshine and rain they comp lain.

In fact 'twere were the cause of death;

That tuned up my pipes one time out Of season.
