The Stones of a Bore work marvails (saith Pissanellus) in decayed bodies, stirring up lust through abundance of seed, gathered by superfluous and ranck nourish∣ment. Indeed when Bucks and Stags are ready for the rut, their stones and pisels are taken for the like purpose: as for the stones of young Cocks, Pheasants, Drakes, Partridges, and Sparrows, it were a world to write how highly they are esteemed. Averrhois thinks that the stones of a young Cock, being kept long in good feed∣ing
and separated from his Hens, do every day add so much flesh unto our bodies, as the stones themselves are in weight. Avicen as much esteemeth Cock-sparrowes stones, or rather more. But the Paduan Doctors (but especially Doctor Calves-head) giveth that faculty to the stones of Pheasants and Partridges above all o∣thers.
