Original text and translations

English text

Hark! How the jolly huntsman's cries,
In concert with the op'ning hounds,
Rend the wide concave of the skies,
And tire dull echo with their sounds.

Ah me! The sprightly-bounding doe,
The chase, and everything I view,
Still to my mind recall my woe;
So Celia flies, so I pursue.
