[illustration] depiction of falcon on stump

S See how my Haggard huffers in the aire,
I It is a Faulcon farre beyond compare.
M Mount vp thy feather, with the flight of any
O O're-sore the fairest bee they nere so many:
N No Faulcon to my Haggard I may see;
Nor may compaire, though many Faulcons be.
L Let me extoll a Faulcon more report;
A A Faulcon is a Princes pleasant sport:
T T'is sport and pleasure delightfull to the eye,
H Haggard Hawke with mounting larke to flie:
A Amid'st your pleasures then, take this delight:
M Maintaine the Faulconer, and his Faulcons flight.
