Actually "The hunt's up" or "The hunt is up". i.e. up and running. Wiki
gives the following jingle....
The hunt is up, the hunt is up,
And it is a well nigh day;
And Harry our king has gone hunting,
To bring his deer to bay.
Not clear which King Harry though as there were 8 of them.

Subject: [LUTE] The Huntes Up: meaning?
I can think of half a dozen meanings, and will consult the OED (once I
found my looking glass ...) to discredit some of these while finding a
few more, but is there anybody out there who has an Opinion,
Definitive Answer or otherwise Meaningful Insight to give?
