234> HUNTING DIRECTORY.
stag Hunting of Queen Elizabeth.
In 1575, when Queen Elizabeth was so magnificently entertained by her favourite, Dudley, Earl of Leicester, at Kenilworth Castle, hart-hunting was one of the amuse- ments she partook of, and which a spectator thus de- scribes : — " The Hunting of the Hart at Fors. — Munday was hot, and thearfore her highness kept in till a five a clok in the eevening :
... what time it pleazz'd her to ride foorth into the chace too hunt the hart of fors : which foound anon, and after sore chased by the hot pursuit of the hooundes, was fain of fine fors, at last to take soil. Thear to beholld the swift fleeting of the deer afore with the stately cariage of his head in hiz swimmyng, spred (for the quantitee) lyke the sail of a ship : the hounds har- loing after, az they had bin a number of skiphs too the spoyle of a karvell : the ton no lesse eager in purchaz of his pray, then was the other earnest in savegard of hiz life : so az the earning of the hoounds in continuauns of their crie, the swiftness of the deer, the running of the footmen, the galloping of horsez, the blasting of hornz, the hallooing and hewing of the huntsmen, with the ex- cellent echoz between whilez from the woods and waters in valleiz resounding; mooved pastime delectabl in so hye a degree, az for ony parson to take pleazure by moost sensez at onez, in mine opinion, thear can be none ony wey comparable to this ; and speciall in this place, that of nature is foormed so fytt for the purpose ; in feith.
