Note 147 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.
William Dansey translation
Book of Venerie p. 248.
Turberville observes a hare will take to the open country, if the horsemen stand on the covert-side, “then peradventure when shee ryseth, shee will take towards the champayne;” but I have often seen a hare voluntarily start directly away from the covert, without any such obstacle existing to her nearer escape.
