44 Hare Huntings from Xenophon. 



When they will not keep by the nets, 

 but run ftraggling about, they fliould be 

 called back till they are taught to run up 

 and find the Hare j left, being ufed to hunt 

 without order, they become * fkirters, 

 which is a bad thing to learn. 



When they '\ find any thing while they 

 are young, it fhould be given them to eat near 

 the nets, that if by reafon of their carelefsnefs 

 they Ihould ftray during the chace, they may 

 return thither, and not be loft ; but this 

 may be omitted when, becoming more eager 

 in purfuing the game, they prefer that to 

 their food. And when they want their food, 

 the Huntfman himfelf ftiould feed them, 

 for they will not regard the perfon who feeds 

 them when they are in no great need of 

 food, but will diligently follow him who 

 gives it them when they are very hungry.
