Like the whirlwind that sweeps over mountain and mead, Thro' the jungle of thorn is the rush of each steed ; Yet one shoots ahead like a shaft from a bow, And the hunter's sharp weapon is poised o'er his foe.
VI.
It is done he is speared, and the flank of that boar So lately unscarred, is dripping with gore ; He turns and he charges, but charges in vain, For the next moment he lies a corpse on the plain.
VII.
Now, our sport being over, let us drink to the day, When once more we assemble a grey ...boar to slay. May his pluck be as good, and his speed as well tried, As his who but now by the Bheema has died I SCREW.
Oriental Sporting Magazine, ' March, 1833.
326 SHIKAR SKETCHES.

Tune Til give thee All. ' I.
I'll lend thee these, for luck attends The aged sportsman's loan, My spurs and spear, the truest friends I e'er could call my own. The spur whose gentlest touch could coax The dullest steed to go, And better far the spear whose pokes Have many a boar laid low.
II.
Though hogs may hide and steeds may swerve, And blank may prove the day, Yet still the search itself will serve This lesson to convey : If ever care should bring thee pain, Or sorrow dim thine eye, Let S2mr and spear be used again, And see how grief will fly !
