The Chace: A Poem is a literary work by William Somerville, originally published in 1735. It is an epic poem that tells the story of a hunting chase, depicting the excitement and danger of the sport. The poem is divided into four parts, each describing a different stage of the chase. The first part introduces the hunters and their dogs, while the second part describes the chase itself. The third part depicts the climax of the chase, as the hunters and their prey engage in a fierce battle. The final part concludes the poem with a celebration of the hunters' victory. The Chace is known for its vivid descriptions of nature, as well as its use of heroic language and imagery. It is considered a classic of English literature, and has been praised for its skillful use of language and its ability to capture the spirit of the hunt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
