   VI
   On reaching the selected spot
   Up went the Master's hip hip! hurra.
   The trail of the stag was quickly got
   And the yelping hounds away.

   VII
   Then across fam'd Boho's plains
   Its sandbanks and stone walls
   At the big jump into Diamona Paynes
   There was no baulks or falls.

   VIII
   Then hunting south of the Deer Park gate
   The hounds were madly roaring
   Thro' Curran and Newton in regal state
   And the stone wall plains of Oran.

   IX
   Thro' Rockfield, Cloverhill and Donamon.
   Where the stag was safely took.
   From a boghole with clamming
   Quite close to the Rover Suck.

   X
   They closed the opening meet run
   With old Sol sinking down in the West.
   In the fire-side stories of sport and fun
   Still it's re-told with gusto and zest.
