  1. In this very year Eighteen hundred and fifteen on the twelfth of October on a hill that was green
    I spied a fine sportsman in scarlet and black.
    He rode a fine hunter with a beautiful pack.
    Of Beagles belonging to the Masters of Game.
    The Noble Squire Johnston is the Gentleman's name.
    He rode a fine hunter all dappled and grey.
    And next came Lord Blaney, his pony was bay.
    But none could with noble Squire Johnston compare,
    At hunting the fox or the keen fallow deer.
