No sooner had the shout been given,
Than to the hilt the spurs were driven:
The lank-lean poney knew full well
The signal for the chace;
And only those who’ve seen may tell
The issue of the race.
But Norham’s castle saw the start,
And knows the Goblin did his part;
At least she knows, if it may be
That Castles are allowed to see,
That first the Goblin saw the find,
And left the boldest far behind.
