A very loud exclamation given out when the quarry ( no not an excavation) is sited whilst hunting.
'Twas the sound of his horn called me from my bed,
And the cry of his hounds which he oft-times led,
For Peel's 'view-halloo' would waken the dead,
Or the fox from his lair in the morning.
NB one of Peel's hounds was called Melody.
