GUEST that printing of The Fox Chase or The Huntsman's Harmony was printed by W Onley among others and can't have been as early as 1650. George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, went to Helmsley where the hunt was in 1685 and he died there after falling from his horse while hunting in 1687, so between 1685 and 87.

Oh, and it's James Olver, not Oliver.

Onley started printing c1650 but continued right up to 1709.

Regarding the Stark song which only relates to DB in the final tagged on stanza, it would be interesting to see if the tune relates to any DB versions. The pattern is certainly the same. I cannot see why it would be a remarkable find. The Duke's Hunt was in constant print from 1685 to today in one form or another. The verse and format were available in the widely-printed short version 'Dido and Spandigo'.

Hi Brian
The din would be blowing of horns and baying of hounds.

Hi Jim, I was surprised to find a 'current' discussion on Dido Bendigo and hunting in general. I've been singing Dido Bendigo with Dublin group 'Garland' since 1970 and we are still singing whenever we get the chance. We recorded this song on our album 'No Strings Attached' a good few years ago and I only recently made a Photo Video for this song. We are anti blood activities (they are not sports) You can track me down on FB ... Pat Sheridan
