Dogs Chasing Birds through Trees

How [prized] if rightly understood,

The chance [our] Lottery sends,

A Brace of Pointers Haunch [& joad],

It wisely [recommends].

No [roving Dogs Sir], here we bring

Of Ladies making Game;

But when the Birds are on the wing,

Tis time to take your [Aim].

And let that aim be just and true,

Your Choice [discreyt], though free

For ‘tis Affection points for you
