BRITISH SPORTS for the Amusement of CHILDREN

P HEASANT  S HOOTI NG .

See the Fowler takes his aim, To bring down the feather'd game; September Season is the time, When these birds are in full prime.

HOOTI NG .

How happy & frisky the Rabbits appear,

Prancing & skipping without any fear; But alas, their enjoyment is like to be short, By the aim of a Gunner who seeks them for sport.

B

ADGER

AI TI NG .

Baited by Dogs, the Badger dies, A cruel sport it thus supplies, The Skin is by the Furriers bought, And thus for gain & pleasure sought.

ORSE

ACI NG .

Goaded with Spurs they seem to fly, Like lightning to the human eye; Stretch out their necks to gain the post, While thousands on the course are lost.

UNT .

The timid Stag with eager bounds, Strives to escape pursuing Hounds; In vain he flies he's doom'd to die, Whilst shouts of Huntsmen rend the Sky.

C

OURSING

.

They beat the Bush to find a Hare, And thus for a long chace prepare; Poor gentle Puss thy fate is hard, And it with pity I regard.

HACE

The Fox is Reynard sly and cunning, Often with our Poultry running; To hunt him yields a manly sport, And numbers to the chace resort.

A

NGLI NG .

Angling will oft our patience try, Ere we a dish of Fish supply; Yet many love the rural sport, And to the Brook or Lake resort.
