THE Hernesewe is a Fowle that liveth of the water, and yet shee doth abhorre raine and tempests, in so much that shee seeketh to avoid them by flying on high. She hath her nest in very high trees, and sheweth as it were a naturall hatred against
the gossehauk and other kind of Hauks, as the Hauk contrari∣wise seeketh her destruction continually: when they fight a∣bove in the ayre, they labour both especially for this one thing, that the one might ascend and be above the other, if the Hauk getteth the upper place, hee overthroweth and vanqui∣sheth the Hernesewe with a mar∣vellows earnest flight, but if the Hernesewe getteth above the Hauk, then with his dung he de∣fileth the Hauk, and so destroy∣eth him, for his dung is a poyson to the Hauke, and his feathers doe putrifie and rot after it.
