_Hors de couple, avaunt sy avaunt_, and thrice _so howe_: When the hounds are uncoupled. _Sa sa cy avaunt, cy sa avaunt, sa cy avaunt (avaunt, sire, avaunt_, in Twici): Forward, sir, forward. _Here how, amy, how amy, and Swef, mon amy, swef_: "Gently, my friend, gently" (_swef_, from Latin _swavis_), when the hounds draw too fast from the huntsman. _Oyez, à Beaumont_ (in Twici: _Oyez, a Beaumont le vaillaunt que il quide trover le coward od la courte cowe_): "Hark to Beaumont the valiant, who thinks to find the coward with the short tail." _La douce, la il ad este sohowe_: "Softly, there--here he has been," if the place where the hare has pastured is seen. _Illoeques, illoeques_: "Here, here," if the hounds hunt well on the line (_see_ Appendix: Illoeques). _Ha sy toutz, cy est il venuz arere, so howe. Sa cy a este so howe. Sa cy avaunt_: "Here, he has gone back. Here he has been. Forward there." When the hare has doubled. _La douce amy, il est venuz illoeques, sohowe_: "Softly, friend, he is here." When the hounds hunt well in fields or arable land. _La douce, amy, la est il venuz (pur lue segere sohow)_: "Softly, friend, here he has come to seat himself" (Mid. Eng., _sege_--a seat. Latin, _sedere_). _La douce, amy, la il est venuz (pur meyndir)_: "Here he has been to feed" (_meyndir_, from Latin _manducare_, _mandere_). The bracketed part of the last two cries are given in the MS. of Twety and Gyff., and the following are only in the "Master of Game":-- _Le valliant oyez, oyez who bo bowe_, and then, _Avaunt, assemble, assemble, war war, a ha war_, for running riot. _How assamy assamy so arere so howe bloues acoupler._ On seeing the pricking or footing of the hare: _Le voye, le voye_ ("The view, the view"). In France, _Tallyho_, or a very similar sounding word, was employed in the early days when the huntsman was sure that the right stag had gone away, whether he only knew it by his slot, &c., or whether he had viewed him. It was also a call to bring up the hounds when the stag had gone away, and at the end of the _curée_, when the huntsman held part of the entrails of the deer on a large wooden fork, and the hounds bayed it (which was called the _forhu_), the huntsman called out _Tallyho_.
