Hunting. Chap. 10.
I Like the pastime of hunting aboue all other sports.
I haue a fine grayhound.
And I a bitch that will kill a hare in her forme.
There is no pleasure in that.
I loue a life to see the beagles hunt and grayhounds run.
You haue a faire mastiffe, vvhat can he do?
Lap, bowle, howle, and barke in the morning.
The barking cur is often fearefull, and biteth not.
One should for all that beleeue the barking of an old dog.
VVe will couple my Grayhound and your mastiffe together.
My mastiffe will not be led in a lease.
It is a hard matter to vse an old dog to a s••••ing.
Let vs vncouple our beagles, they shall follow the tracke, and trace after the footing.
