HARK, HARK, THE JOY INSPIRING HORN. English, Song Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A song [Roud Number: V4778] that appears in a number of latter 18th century songsters such as The Goldfinch, or, New Modern Songster (1782), The Humming Bird (1785), and The Skylark (1794). The lyric begins:

Hark! hark! the joy-inspiring horn
Salutes the rosy rising morn,
And echoes through the dale;
With clam'rous peals the hills resound,
The hounds quick-scented scow'r the ground,
And snuff the fragrant gale.
