CHAP. XII.
What manner of wild flesh is to be prouided for the furnishing of the Fish-poole.
NOw one great commendation belonging to inheritances, is to haue wild flesh and fish in the fields thereto belonging. As concerning the wild flesh, the walkes thereof are partly in the woods, and partly in the war∣rens, of which we will speak in their place: partly in the ••rable grounds and fallowes, as the great and little Hare, the Partridge, Quaile, and Larke: and part in the vvood, at the Hart, the Hind, the Doe, and the vvild-Bore: and as con∣cerning birds, the Stock-doue, Turtle, Small-henne, Plouer, and others: but to re∣turne to our fish-poole, the vvild flesh thereof (especially of birds) is the Swan, the Heron, the Woodcocke, Snite, Mallarde, Teale, young wild Duckes, the wild Goose, and the Bittor. Besides, there are belonging thereto as concerning beasts, such as auncient Writers haue called double-liued beasts, that is to say, such as liue ei∣ther in or out of the water, the Otter, the Badger (vvhich verily hath a scalie tayle like Fishes) the Beauer, and the Dormouse, vnto vvhich vve will adde the Tor∣teise, that daintie dish for Princes and great Lords: albeit the most commendable of them, and which hath the best relish, and in most request, is that which is called the wood Torteise, and maketh her borough in the woods, the wealth of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Languedoc.
