THe Vnycorne is a stronge beste and can nat lightely be taken be no meaners / but yet some say yt they ye hūte him set maydēs in the place that they hunt in / & in the chasinge whan it seeth the mayde / to her it rōneth and layeth the hede in the maydens lappe forgetinge all ye chase / & than come the hunters and take her without endred for she slepis in the maydens lappe for ioye of her virginite / And whan it wa¦keneth and fyndeth himselfe taken of the hunters than dyeth this beste for very great pride / and the horne of htis beste is four fote longe and is very co¦stely & is a preseruacyon for many ma¦ner of poysons.
