| Rolling and tumbling on every lawn | B |
| Tearing at slippers and bones and wings | A |
| Wonderful loot from the ash heap drawn | B |
| Foxhound puppies | C |
| Contented puppies | C |
| Dipping your ears in the dews of dawn | B |
| Lapping your porridge at farm house doors | D |
| Cracking a biscuit robbing a nest | E |
| Printing your tracks upon kitchen floors | D |
| Dodging a broom when the cooks protest | E |

| By distant coverts your kingdoms wait | I |
| When the spaniels doze and the guns are dumb | H |
| And hoofs are loud by the bridle gate | I |
| Foxhound puppies | C |
| Yet scarcely puppies | C |
| Raised as you are to a hound's estate | I |
| Lost will your lolloping ways be then | J |
| Your timid glance and your shrinking pose | K |
| As you shoulder the gorse in glade and glen | J |
| Lifting the line that your tongues disclose | K |
| Foxhound puppies | C |
| No longer puppies | C |
| But trusted names that the huntsman knows | K |
