While the cock with lively din
Scatters the rear of darkness thin,
And to the stack, or the barn door,
Stoutly struts his dames before,
Off list’ning how the hounds and horn
Cheerly rouse the slumb’ring morn.
John Milton
L’Allegro

Off list’ning how the hounds and horn
Cheerly rouse the slumb’ring morn.
