Th' uplifted trumpet, and the clarion, send,

Confus'd, the mingled clang afar;

Lo! while the Matron's tender breast they rend,

Her Soldier hails that din of war.--

The wood-land _Chase_ desired,

Far other sounds the Hunter charms;

By the enlivening shout inspired,

He breaks from his young Bride's encircling arms;

Nor heeds the morning's wintry gale,

While his deep-mouth'd hounds inhale

The tainted breeze, or hold the stag at bay,

Or while, from his strong toils, the wild boar bursts away.
