"I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bay'd the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seem'd all one mutual cry: I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder."
~ Shakespeare ~

Fox
Hound
The
beauty of a baying hound followed by the thunder of hooves as the chase

countryside.
Of course, for this artist the happy ending is the fox eluding the
hounds and the hounds merely happy for the chase.
This pattern includes directions for both English and American
Foxhounds.
