Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Song: Rural sports are sweeter, far sweeter than all...

by Jean Le Clerc . A Catch for Four voices , in G minor

Text:

Rural sports are sweeter,
far sweeter than all other pleasures,
are in the morning gay we rise when the fox before us flies, oh the charming exercise ’till Reynard dies,
then returning home at night, oh the charming dear delight, ev’ry brother of the chase enjoys his glass.
