In the 1575 edition of Geo. Turberville’s “_Noble Art of Venerie or hunting_” (p. 95) we have a fine picture of Queen Elizabeth on one of these stands, whilst, kneeling on the ground, and bareheaded, the royal huntsman presents the “fewmets,” or droppings of the deer, on some leaves, in a plate, for the Queen’s inspection; and the following is “The report of a Huntesman upon the sight of an Hart, in pride of greace. “‘Before the Queen, I come report to make, Then husht and peace, for noble _Tristrame’s_ sake. From out my horne, my fewments first I drawe, And then present, on leaves, by hunter’s lawe; And thus I say; my Liege, behold and see An Hart of tenne, I hope he harbored bee. For if you mark his fewmets every poynt, You shall them find long, round and well anoynt, Knottie and great, without prickes or eares, The moystness shewes what venison he beares.’” Another engraving shows the Queen about to take assay of the deer, the kneeling huntsman handing her a knife for the purpose. And this is “the English manner, in breaking up of the Deare. “First, where hee appointeth the Deares foote to be cut off, and to be presented to the Queen or chiefe, our order is that the Queen or chiefe (if so please them) do alight and take assaye of the Deare with a sharpe knife, the which is done in this maner. The deare being layd upon his backe, y^{e} Queen, chiefe, or such as they shall appoint, comes to it. And y^{e} chiefe huntsman (kneeling, if it be to the Queen) doth hold the Deare by the fore foote, whiles the Queen or chiefe, cut a slit drawne alongst the brysket of the deare, somewhat lower than the brysket towards the belly. This is done to see the goodnesse of the fleshe, and howe thicke it is.” In the 1611 edition, James I. takes the place of Queen Elizabeth.
