    But precept gives voice as the
    Scent he had found
    To the chorus commingled the hills
    All resound
    The hare dashes forward and
    Crosses o'er Grey
    And the pack in communion
    Incessantly bay
    Then oh what a view boys!
    And oh, what a race!
    And oh what a hare that is
    making the pace
    And speak of forked lightening -
    it couldn't compare
    With the dash and the speed of
    the gallant Leck hare
