¶Of the Achame. ca. vi.
[illustration]
AChame is a beste as grete as an hert / and contrary the nature of all other bestes he hathe his gall in his eare / and it is a cursed angry beste.
¶Alches is a beste that is in the forest of Hircinia and is very moche lyke a gote / but it is somwhat bygger and it hathe croked iagged hornes / and they haue no ioyntes in theyr legges as o¦ther bestes haue / and whan the hūters wyll haue that beste they folowe him be the fote stepe to knowe where he re¦steth be night / for he standeth and sle¦peth agaynst a tre / and they lowse the tre be the rote and so dygge it vp or el¦lis they sawe it a sonder / for he slepeth fast and leneth sore againste the trees wherwith he is oftentymes deceyued and falleth to the grounde / and so they take hym or ellis they sholde neuer ta¦ke him for he is to dangerous to come by / and he is to swyft in cōnynge / but whan he is downe he can nat ryle.
