Classic Poem

So long as a man's heart is young,
Great is his delight in hunting.
What is there that like the chase
Keeps a man's attention fixed?
For the pursuit of winged quarry
Well-trained Hawks are what is required.
Follow the hounds as they run
Over hill and plain alike.
Pleasant, too, the sport the bow gives,
If thou art a skilful archer.
Best of all sport with the gun,
If thou handlest it with speed.
On the chase with Hawk and Gun
So much value does he set,
That to these pursuits Khush-hal
Has devoted all his life.
