The Sporting Magazine. Volume 5. 1795. Pages 254-256. Biography parodied in the History of PERO, a
BUCK HOUND. To the Editors of the Sporting Magazine, GENTLEMEN, By giving a place to the following in your
excellent, as well as diverting Magazine, you will oblige Your humble Servant, W.R. Feb. 10, 1795, PERO was descended on the female side from a
very ancient line in Northumberland, and tradition says, that his ancestors
were from generation to generation great favourites with the Saxon Kings of
that district. By his own mother's side (who was of Shropshire) he was
descended from all the celebrated hounds who signalized themselves in the
chase during the time of the Danish and Norman usurpations. In the tree of
pedigree of Pero's family, we find the name of Yelpo, King Canute's favourite buck hound, and also that of List,
who was King Alfred’s faithful companion when that monarch was in hiding, and
in disguise in the Isle of Wight. But the most illustrious name in the tree,
and the founder of the male line, is Harpau, who came over with William the
Conqueror, and was his favourite bloodhound, and the records of the Duke of
Fitzroi's kennel assure us, that when the Conqueror laid the Northern
counties in blood and desolation, Harpau |

attended him, and had an armour with a
beautiful fox-hound belonging to the Prior of Durham, from which union our
Pero was lineally descended. When he was but a little puppy he gave early
proofs of uncommon genius, and every one foretold that he would not disgrace
the illustrious blood that flowed in his veins. He was, therefore, when very
young, put under the care of Tom Snipe the duke's gamekeeper but this part of
his education did not succeed according to expectation. Honest Tom, in his
old days, having made too free with the bottle. Pero’s instructions were
consequently much neglected, and it was feared he would fall into idle
habits, and that his excellent genius would remain uncultivated. To prevent
such misfortunes, his guardians removed him into Wiltshire, where he finished
his studies, under the care of the learned and ingenious Peter Partridge,
gamekeeper to Lord N-—d. At first, indeed, he suffered severely by Peter's
whip, but no sooner was he broke of his idle habits, then he made a most
rapid progress in his education, in every part of which he was without an
equal, for melody of a fine deep toned voice, for swiftness of foot,
unexhausted strength, and staunchness of scent he was unrivalled, and no
wonder that these rare qualifications, so happily blended together, procured
him the favour and patronage of the great. He was hunted with all the first
nobility in the kingdom, (and indeed has always kept the best company) and
never failed to excite their esteem and admiration. He was always in at the
death, on which occasions he has often been honoured by his M---y’s
attention, and one |

time was patted on the head by the Prince of
W—-s, but this singular honour and happiness had almost cost him his life, on
boasting of it in the kennel, with rather two much vanity, the envious hounds
set upon him, and had not the whipper-in just come in the nick of time, and
exercised his whip among them stoutly, he had certainly been torn limb from
limb. Lord L---, who was then on a hunting visit to Lord N—--, affected with
Pero's dangerous situation, begged him of his Lordship, and his request
granted, but no sooner did he bring him home, than his own kennel was equally
envious, so true are the words of the Poet, |

sion
and regard for him, ordered him to be hung, a death which, excepting a few
that were shot for being mad, was the lot of all his ancestors for these two
thousand years; and perhaps as many more beyond the extent of our most
ancient records. In his person, Pero was remarkably well made, and
beautifully spotted with liver colour, except on his left hind leg, where he
wore two black spots; one of his ears was a little torn, occasioned by the
riot in the kennel already mentioned. He had great expresson in his
countenance; when his lordship would hold up to him the wing of a fowl, or a
slice of venison, he would leer at it slily, and wag his tail, and turn up
one ear as if listening with great attention, which together with the arch
cast of his eyes, gave him a wonderful look of sagacity, He was firm in his
friendship, and grateful to his benefactors, whom he would attend night and
day, but he was vindictive to a high degree, and could never forbear growling
when any who had used him ill entered the parlour while he lay at his
lordship's feet. He was greatly addicted to concubines, by whom he has left a
numerous progeny, which are highly prized by the best huntsmen in this kingdom.
He was also a great thief, for which the cook and butler gave him many a
curse, and not a few hard blows; but it must be said in his vindication, that
he never stole any thing except when he was hungry. We had almost forgot to
mention to posterity, that half his tail was cut off; this was done, by the
celebrated Tom Snipe already mentioned; the reason he gave for it was, that
the weight of his tail might riot break his back when he was in hard running;
so happy is it for youth to fall into the hands of ingenious preceptors, and
so ridiculous is the saying of the poet. |
