First Line: THE BUSY YOUTH PURSUE THE TIMOROUS PUSS
Last Line: AND TO THE HUNTED PREY BECOME A SPOIL.
Subject(s): COURTSHIP; HUNTING; HUNTERS;
THE busy youth pursue the timorous Puss
Whilst eager Hope makes pleasure of a toil;
But I must fly when I have beat the bush,
And to the hunted prey become a spoil.
