Fight in a Cave + 

This is a tale of a hunter brave, + 

He sought for refuge in a cave + 

To escape a furious storm, + 

And he built fire to keep him warm. + 

Dry leaves and twigs made fire and smoke, + 

Which wild beasts’ fury did provoke; + 

By its growl he knew ’twas bear, + 

But bruin’s fury he would dare. + 

For he determined not to run, + 

And he gave it a shot from gun, + 

But this the bear it did enrage, + 

Resolved in war for to engage. + 

For it came shambling along, + 

To have revenge for suflering wrong; + 

Hunter with the butt of rifle + 

Struck and stunned him a trifle. + 

Once more he aimed, it glanced on rock, + 

And he was left with broken stock; + 

Now the bear it doth hunter seize, + 

And gives him many a hug and squeeze. + 

The struggle is so close for life, + 

The hunter cannot use his knife; + 

But the nimble hunter bold + 

Soon made the bear relax his hold. + 

By a sudden spring bear he rolls, + 

With his nose in burning coals; + 

His nostrils full of fire and smoke, + 

Poor Brvin it doth almost choke. + 

The hunter now doth use his knife, + 

Stabs bear in heart and ends the strife; + 

So hunter he did victory win, + 

And spoils of battle in grand skin. + 
