The lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' 1735 read as follows: "Here Huntsman from the height / Observe you Birds of prey; if I can judge / 'Tis there the villain lurks; they hover round / And claim him as their own. / Was I not right / See! there he creeps along: Ha! yet he flies / Nor yields to black despair but one loose more / And all his wiles are vain." Further inscription reads: 'To William Bowman Esqr of Clapton. This Print from the original Picture in his Poessession is most respectfully Inscribed by his much obliged and obedient Servant John Harris.' John Nost Sartorius 17551828 was an English painter of horses horse-racing and hunting scenes. He is considered the best-known and prolific of the Sartorius family of artists. Wikipedia unknown
