The Peora hunt

Pit where the buffalo cooled his hide,

By the hot sun emptied, and blistered and dried;

Long in the reh-grass, hidden and lone;

Bund

where the earth-rat's mounds are strown;

Cave in the bank where the sly stream steals;

Aloe that stabs at the belly and heels,

Jump if you dare on a steed untried -

Safer it is to go wide - go wide!

Hark, from in front where the best men ride; -

"Pull to the off, boys! Wide! Go wide!

"
