And if it happen sometime that he réeseth against straunge men, anone hée ceaseth, and withdraweth the réese. Also gentle houndes when they take an Hart or an Hare, they deuoure not anone the beast that they take, but kéepe the pray to their Lorde, and holde them content with the bowelles and other vile partes, as bloud & other such, for theyr portion and part, and though they haue no parte of the praye of one beast: yet for all that they spare not to pursue and take another.De alijs proprietatibus canum, Chap. 27.GOundes haue other propertyes that be not full good, for hounds haue con∣tinuall Bolisme, that is immederate ap∣petite, and be sometime punished with hunger, that they waxe rabbish and mad: for houndes haue sicknesse and euilles, baldnesse, squinatye, and madnesse, as A∣stotle sayth, libro. 7. And all beastes that be bitten of a mad hound, waxe madde, except men alone, that scape sometime by helpe of medicine. And Constan. sayth in Viatico. li. viti. that an hound is kind∣ly cold and dry, and blacke. Cholera hath mastrie in him. And if Cholera be much rotted and corrupt, it maketh the hound madde. And this falleth most in haruest and in springing time. And other hounds flye and voyde the madde hound; as pe∣stilence and venim: and he is alway exi∣led; as it were an outlawe, and goeth a∣lone wagging and rowling as a dronken beast, and runneth yaning, & his tongue hangeth out, and his mouth driueleth and foameth, and his eyen vs euertourned and reared, & his eares lie backward, and his faile is wrickled by the legges and thighes: and though his eyen bée open, yet hée stumbleth and spurneth against all thing, and barketh at his owne shadow. Other houndes dreade him and flie and barke against him. And no hounds come nigh the bread that is wet in the bloud of the wounde of his biting. And those that bée bitten of him, dreame in theyr sléepe dreadfull dreames, and bée afearde in sléeping, and that commeth of rotten∣nesse of corruption, and be wroth and a∣stonied without cause, and looke and be∣holde aboute, though nothing grieueth them: and if this eulil increase, then they begin to dreade and haue abhomination of all drinke, and then they dread water, and barke as houndes, and dread so wa∣ter, that they fall for dreade, and such die, but they be the sooner holpen with medi∣cine. Cures and remedyes looke before libro de Morbis, cap. de Veneno. Libro 29. Plinius sayth, that vnder the houndes tongue lyeth a Worme that maketh the hounde madde, and if this worme bée ta∣ken out of the tongue, then the euill cea∣seth. Also he sayth, that the violence and biting of a madde hound is so much, that his vrine grieueth a man if he treadeth thereon, and namely if hée haue a Botch or a wound. Also who that throweth his owne vrine vpon the vrine of a mad hound, he shall anone féele sore ach of the neather guts and of the lends.Also an hound is wrathfull and ma∣licious, so that for is awreak himselfe, he biteth oft the stone that is throwen to him: and biteth the stone with great mad∣nesse, that he breaketh his own teeth, and grieueth not the stone, but his owne téeth full sore. Also he is guidefull and decei∣cable, and so oft he sickleth and fawneth with his tayle on men that passeth by the waye; as though he were a friends; and biteth them sore, if they take no héede backewarde. And the Hounde hateth stones and rods, and is bolde and hardye among them that hée knoweth, & busieth to bite and to feare all other, and is not bold when he passeth among straungers. Also he is couetous and gluttonous, and eateth therefore dirde: so gréedely, yt he perbraketh and tasteth it vp, but after∣ward when he is n hungred, he taketh again that yt he cast vp in foule manner. Also the hounds tous, and therefore Auicen saith, yt he gathereth hearbs pri∣uely, by whom he purgeth himselfe with perbraking and casting, and hath anuye, and is right forrys if any man knoweth the vertue of those hearbes: and is also euill apaide, if any straunge houndes and vnknowne come into the place there hée dwelleth, and breadeth least he should face the worse for the other hounds presence, 0
