THE MANNER OF HUNTING 191 



should the harrier uncouple his hounds and blow 

 three motes and seek forth saying loud and long, 

 " hoo sto ho sto, mon amy, ho sto " and if they draw 

 far from him in any unruly manner he should 

 speak to them in that case as when he seeketh for 

 the hare. And as oft as he passes within the set 

 from one quarter to another, he should blow drawing, 

 and when he is passed the boundary of the quarter, 

 and entered into a new quarter, he should blow three 

 motes and seek forth, but if so be, that his hounds 

 enchace anything as he wishes, and if any hound 

 happen to find of the Kings (game), he should hue 

 to him by his name and say loud : " Oyez a 

 Bemond, oyez-oyez, assemble, assemble,'''' or what 

 the hound is named, " assemble, assemble " and 

 jopey and rally. And if it be an hart and any of 

 the hart hounds meet with it they should blow a 

 mote and rechace and relay, and go forth therewith 

 all rechacing among. And if it come to the bows 

 or to greyhounds and be dead, he should blow the 

 death when he is come thither, and reward his 

 hounds a little, and couple them up and go again to 

 his place. And if the hart has escaped he should no 

 longer rechace, but blow drawing and draw in again, 

 and in the best way that he can, take up his hounds 

 and get in front of them. And after that the har- 

 riers have well run and well made the rascal void, 1 

 then should the sergeant and the berner s of the hart 



1 Made the smaller deer clear out of the forest.
