   (continued from previous page)

   Upon his dark grey steed
   That sound Adare you heard career
   With just a frantic speed

   Thy husbands ancestors was he
   The Nimrod of his race
   E'en in his grave he may not rest
   But still pursues the chase
   But trouble not then Lady fair
   The pure and good like thee
   Pass on unharmed by sinful souls
   From fear and danger free.

   Then let us Lady bend the knee
   And let us humbly pray
   That God may give him rest and peace
   Beside his kindred clay
   The Countess kneeled her lowly down
   Close by the old man's side
   And prayed for that poor huntsman's soul
   In quiet to abide.
