But, ere his fleet career he took, The dew-drops from his flanks he shook; Like crested leader proud and high Tossed his beamed frontlet to the sky; A moment gazed adown the dale, A moment snuffed the tainted gale, A moment listened to the cry, That thickened as the chase drew nigh; Then, as the headmost foes appeared, With one brave bound the copse he cleared, And, stretching forward free and far, Sought the wild heaths of Uam-Var. His courage awakes, his covert he breaks, And up for the moor he goes! The hunters and their dogs were shouted at for being so disgusting, hunting such a fine animal. Popliteal self on higher neon knees, Mother Brown's got nothing on me! At first, in speed He, sprightly, puts his faith; and, roused by fear, Gives all his swift aerial soul to flight.

POEM: A RUNNABLE STAG BY JOHN DAVIDSON

the stag hunt poem

Nothing about the hunt had turned out the way it should have done. In Summer's Heat he in Cool Brakes him lay, Which being High did keep the Sun away; In Evenings Cool and Dewy Morning he Would early Rise and all the Forest see; Then was he Walking to some Crystal brook, Not for to Drink, but on his Horns to Look, Taking such pleasure in his stately Crown, His Pride forgot that Dogs might pull him down; From thence he to a Shady Wood did go, Where streightest Pines and talest Cedars grow; Olives upright, imbrac'd by th'Loving Vines, Birches which Bow their Heads to Golden Mines; Small Aspen stalk, which shakes like Agues cold, That from perpetual Motion never hold; The sturdy Oak , which on the Seas doth Ride; Firr which tall Masts doth make, where Sails are tied; The weeping Maple , and the Popler green, Whose cooling Buds in Salves have Healing been; The fatting Chestnut , and the Hasle small, The smooth-rind Beech , which groweth Large and Tall; The loving Mirtle fit for Amorous kind, The yielding Willow for Inconstant Mind; The Cypress Sad, which makes the Funeral Hearse, And Sicomors , where Lovers write their Verse; And Juniper , which gives a pleasant Smell, With many more, which were too Long to tell, Which from their Sappy Roots sprout Branches small, Some call it Under-wood, that's never Tall; There walking through the Stag was hinder'd much, The bending Twigs his Horns did often Touch; While he on tender Leaves and Buds did brouse, His Eyes were troubled with the broken Boughs; Then strait he sought this Labyrinth t'unwind, Though hard it was his first way out to find; Unto this Wood a Rising Hill was near, The sweet wild Thyme and Marjoran grew there, And Winter-Sav'ry which was never Set, Of which the Stag took great delight to Eat; But looking down into the Vallies low, He saw, there Grass and Cowslips thick did grow, And Springs, which Digg'd themselves a passage out, Much as like Serpents, wind each Field about; Rising in Winter high, they'ld over-flow The flow'ry Banks, but make the Soil to grow; And as he went thinking therein to Feed, He 'spied a Field, which Sow'd was with Wheat-feed, The Blades were grown a handfull high and more, Which Sight to Taste did soon Invite him o're; In haste he went, Fed full, then down did lye; The Owner coming there, did him Espy, Strait call'd his Dogs to Hunt him from that place; At last it prov'd to be a Forest chase; The Chase grew hot, the Stag apace did run, The Dogs pursu'd, more Men for Sport came on; At last a Troop of Men, Horse, Dogs did meet, Which made the Hart to try his Nimble feet; Full swift he was, his Horns he bore up high, The Men did Shout, the Dogs ran Yelping by, And Bugle Horns with several Notes did blow, Huntsmen, to cross the Stag , did Side-ways go; The Horses beat their Hoofs against dry Ground, Raising such Clouds of Dust, their ways scarce found, Their Sides ran down with Sweat, as if they were New come from Watering, so dropt every Hair; The Dogs their Tongues out of their Mouths hung long, Their Sides did like a Feaverish Pulse beat strong, Their short Ribs heav'd up high, and then fell low, As Bellows draw in Wind that they may Blow; Men Tawny grew, the Sun their Skins did turn, Their Mouths were Dry, their Bowels felt to Burn; The Stag so Hot as glowing Coals may be, Yet swiftly Ran when he the Dogs did see. I do feel I'm going numb. The men who formed that hunting party were not young bloods, in fact not one was under fifty. Autoplay next video I hunt for the golden stag.
