SONGS.
Hark! The Hollow Woods
Resounding.
Hark! the hollow woods resounding,
With the joyful hunters' cry;
See the stag o'er hedges bounding,
Now proclaims that they are nigh.
Now the hounds the stag approaching,
Now the huntsmen doth appear;
On his swiftness they're approaching,
He distracted runs with fear.
Now the stag himself defending
With his antlers, but in vain—
For his trembling limbs are bending,
Weakened with distracting pain.
