And now We roam in Sovreign Woods -
    And now We hunt the Doe -
    And every time I speak for Him
    The Mountains straight reply -

    And do I smile, such Cordial light
    Upon the Valley glow -
    It is as a Vesuvian face
    Had let its pleasure through

    And when at Night - Our Good Day done -
    I guard My Master's Head -
    'Tis better than the Eider - Duck's
    Deep Pillow - to have shared -

    To foe of His - I'm deadly foe -
    None stir the second time
    On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
    Or an emphatic Thumb -

    Though I than He - may longer live
    He longer must - than I -
    For I have but the power to kill
    Without - the power to die -
