About This Book

A narrative poem in two cantos frames a comic-pastoral fox-chase around Dunse, opening in a crowded hostel and introducing a mischievous supernatural groom who joins a field party. The verses mix sporting detail, rustic character portraits, and vivid landscape sketches with folkloric touches—an elfin attendant and a merry pack—moving from convivial inn scenes through a brisk hunt to the fox's death on Flodden Field, while occasional dedications, mock-heroic addresses, and light satirical notes punctuate the rustic storytelling.
