NOTES TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 247 



in Sir R. C. Hoare's "History of Modern Wilts," vol. i. 

 Heytesbury, p. 113. One, painted in 15 74 at the age of forty-two, 

 is a half-length portrait, which represents him bare-headed, with 

 a falcon on his glove ; the other, a very curious one, depicts 

 him on horseback in a full suit of armour, with ostrich plumes 

 in his helmet and on his horse's head, a black greyhound by his 

 side, a hare running ahead of him over down-land, above him a 

 heron flying, and in the foreground a pool on which swims a 

 wild duck, on either side of which, seated on the bank, is a ger- 

 falcon. Above and below the picture runs the following quaint 

 inscription : — 



" S"" Walter Hungerforde, Knight, had in quene Elyzabeths 

 tyme the seconde of her raine, for fouer yere together a baye 

 horse, a blacke grehounde, a leveratt ; his offer was for fouer 

 yere together to all Eynglande not above his betters he that 

 shoulde showe the best horse for a man of armes, a grehounde 

 for a hare, a haucke for the ryver, to wine iij hundred poundes, 

 that was a hunderythe pounds apese ; also he had a gerfalcon 

 for the heme in her Majesty's tyme wiche he kept xviij yere and 

 offered the lyke to flye for a hundred pounde, and were refused 

 for all." 



He died in 1596, and was buried in a vault in the chapel of 

 Farley Castle, v/here there is a monument to him with a 

 curiously cut inscription, beginning with his motto, " Tyme 

 tryeth Truth." It is reproduced in the late Canon Jackson's 

 " Guide to Farleigh Hungerford, co. Somerset," 8vo, Taunton, 

 i860 (p. 23).
