H. R. CORBET ESQ.

Master of the Cheshire Hounds, 1866-1876 

Master and Huntsman of South Cheshire, 1876-1900 


Mr. CORBET, one of the finest horsemen Cheshire ever produced, has manifestly 
lost his fox. 

Deep dejection is plainly pourtrayed on Master and hounds. He reminds us of 
the LIVELE BO-PEEP of our childhood. 


Huntsman and Pack
Come Foxless back,
And trouble they had to find him;
Sad and alone 
He trudges home,
They trail their sterns behind them.
