Of the Hawke that is morfounded by some mischance.

* 1.1SOmetimes it falleth out that hawkes are morfounded by some mischance, and sometimes also by giuing them too great a gorge, specially when they be wet. For then they cānot indew, nor put ouer their gorges, and so they surfet, because their meat conuerteth into slime, and grosse humors which o∣uerthrow their appetite, by meanes wherof they come often∣times to their bane. Yée shall know the disease by this, that if yée giue your hawke a great gorge, specially ouer night, the next morning she will haue no list to her breakfast, but becom∣meth cold, and so falleth into great disease. Mallopin in his book of the Prince, giueth this medicine for it. When ye perceyue her to be so morfounded, and to haue lost her appetite, giue her no meat that day, but set water before her, and let her bowze or bath at her pleasure. When shee hath bathed and is weathered againe, throw her a liue Pigeon, and let her kill it, and take as much of the bloud of it as she lifteth, but let her not eate past one of the legs at that time. Afterward set her down on some hie thing with water by her, and beware of gi∣uing

her any great gorge. Then for foure or fiue dayes toge∣ther giue her fiue or sixe cloues of maces lapped vp in a hens skin, and that will recouer her.
