Lymer
… lymers were a sort of
mixture between
bloodhound and red
setters of today.

Alaunt
… half a dozen black and
white alaunts, which looked
like greyhounds with the
heads of bull-terriers or
worse

Brach(et)
The braches were like
beagles, and trotted along with
the master in the way that
beagles always have trotted,
and a charming way it is.

Gaze-hounds
The gaze-hounds, of
which there were two
taken just in case…

Setting Out
The [gazehounds]
had collars on, and
were led with straps…

Rearing
He watched the
lymerer who held the
two bloodhound dogs
on their leashes, and
saw the dogs straining
more and more as the
boar’s lair was
approached
… and saw Master Twyti
wave silently to the
lymerer to uncouple his
hounds

Giving Chase
The alaunts were uncoupled
as the exciting notes of the
menee began to ring
through the forest
The lymers which had reared the
boar – the proper word for
dislodging – were allowed to
pursue him to make them keen on
their work
He remembered the rank mane of bristles standing upright
on its razor back, one flash of a sour tush, the staring ribs,
the head held low, and the red flame from a piggy eye

… at Bay
The lymer was taken
up by the tenor bells
of the braches. The
noises grew to a
crescendo of
excitement as the
blood-thirsty thunder
of the aluant pealed
through the lesser
notes
Sto arere! So howe, so howe! Ho moy, ho moy, hole, hole, hole,
hole

Undoing
We all know that the hounds
are rewarded with a fouail, or
mixture of bowels and bread
cooked over a fire
