CEle morn merry AaYtlInes
Years fifteen hundred thirty-siz.
From Christ, had rolld away time
King Henry stood IN walthaul Wood
All young green. sunny-shaiy;
He would not mount his paving horse.
Though men and dogs were ready.
What ais his Eghness: Up and down
In moody sort he Dacetb;
He Is not wont to be so slack
Whatever game he chaseth-''
He paced and stopp'd he paced and turn'd:
At times he iny muttered:
He pull'd his girdle. twitch'd his beard,
But not word he utter'd.

While lingering gfrth or bride.
Among themselves. but not too loud
The young lords laughed and chatteT'd.
Or broke branch of hawthorn bloom.

Like furious demons hunted.
Fast fed the deer by grove and glade.
And every wildwood alley rang
With hunters horn and hollo.
Away together streamd the hounds
Forward pressd every rider.
You're free TO slay hind in May,
If there's no fawu beside her
King Henry rode mighty horse
His Grace being broad and heavy.
And like stormy wtnd he crastSd
Through copse and thicket leaSy.
He rode SO hard. and roar'd so loud
The fiery steed long held on fret.
With many snort enjoy'd it
The hind was kilrd. and. down they sat
To tanlZard and TO pasty;
Though hot by times, and hestY!

Across the slopes Of Epping;
From grove to. glade. through light and shade.
The troops Of deer are stepping.
