A Good and right Haggart Falcon ought to haue her head of darke or blanck plume, flat on the toppe, with a white wreath or garland enuironing her head, a large blew bending beake, widenares, a great, ful, blacke eye, hie, stately necke, large breast, broad shouldred, a great feather, in colour like the feather of a Turtle, long vaines and sayles, but slender shapte, long traine, high thighes, and white on the inside, I meane her pendant feathers, short and great armed, large wide foot, with slender stretchers and falons, and the same to bée eyther pale white maylde, or pale blewish, tending somewhat to azure. These are generally, the most assured tokens of an excellent Haggart Falcon.
