Lepus.

Story for Table-talke.

HAres flesh is good for those that wold be leane & faire. It is a receiued opinion, that vse of Hares fleshe procureth beautie, fresh colour, and cheer∣full countenance, for a seuenight space: in so much as the Italians haue a by-word, which speaketh thus of a faire man, He hath eaten an Hare.

And Martiall mockes a foule sowe, telling her that shee htah not eaten any Hares fleshe of a weeke. It runneth most swiftly, especially vp the hill: because the fore feet be shorter then the hin∣der legges.
