boyo 1,398 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 i liked plummers books when they first cameout but like a lot of things in his books it was stuff that was written by someone else many many years before he was even thought of . Quote Link to post
cocker 2,654 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 that poem was out before plummer was an embryo, to be exact it was wrote in the boke of saint albans 1480, Correct. An even earlier one gives the best description of a course iv ever heard. I think it was about 12th century. As when thy impatient greyhound slipped from afar Bounds o'er the glade to course the fearful hare She in her speed does all her safety lie He with double speed pursues his prey Over runs her at the sitting turn Yet licks his chaps in vain But blows upon the flux She seeks the shelter that the neighbouring covert gives wheres this one from mate ?thanks And gaining it she doubts if yet she lives.
