Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ... last, For ever feel His fond embrace, And view eternally His face; And bless the hour we rais'd our hands To Him who gave His life for man's. ON A SUMMER-HOUSE, Built On Corse-hill By J. Hawkins, Esq. Once on a time a wight was bom, A very Nimrod in the chase, Who loved the sound of hound and horn, Better than park, estate, or place. But growing unable to pursue This antidote to melancholy, He rais'd a little house to view, The people call'd it Jerry's Folly. Here would he take his stand, and track Each well known covert, wood, and den, Frequented by Lord Seagrave's pack, Who hunted all the country then.
