flée in the morning) dooth much trouble the Hawke, and rayseth and stirreth her courage, making her prowde and ra∣mage. So that shée léeseth the eagernesse of her appetite, and remembreth it not, thinking on nothing else but to soare and gadde abroade, whereby she may be easily lost. Furthermore, towards the euening, she cannot soare so far away from you, (although thee should soare) as she would do in the heat of the day, because the night will enforce her to goe to the pearch and stand.

When there is a knotte of good company mette together, and euery man hath his Sparrowhawke, if one of thē see his Sparrowhawke flée when another is also from the fist, there beginneth the pastime, & yet they may flée together. But it is a pleasure to take a Larke towring or clyming. Or if a Sparowhawke haue beaten down a Larke, or that ye Larke be
