Chapter I

I is the Impulse by which you are curst;
To prove you have courage when fox hounds are "Cast,"
"I'll jam in my spurs and be after them fast,"
It seems that the Master prefers to go first.

J

J is the Jackrabbit, running so free,
And the Jar to the Master who sees that his pack
Have tacitly told him they cannot come back
'Til the last of their fat furry friend they can see.

K

K is the Kennels where foxhounds are kept,
A visit to these is a part of the Game;
'Tis a wise M. F. H. knows each couple by name,
But when _they_ know _him_ they say strong men have wept.
