“Hunting is the noblest exercise,

Makes men laborious, active, wise,

Brings health, and doth the spirits delight,

It helps the hearing and the sight;

It teacheth arts that never slip

The memory, good horsemanship,

Search, sharpness, courage, and defence,

And chaseth all ill habits thence.”

Jonson’s Masques.
