Hare Huntings J'gf 



are every Dog- boy knows by the old Hounds, 

 which ftill purfue with greater earneftnefs,, 

 as fhe is nearer her end^ **" 



I take motion to be the chief caufe of 

 fhedding or difcharging thefe fcenting par- 

 ticles, becaufe fhe is very feldom perceived 

 whilfl: quiet in her form, though the Dogs 

 are never fo near, though they leap over 

 her, or, as I have often feen, even tread 

 upon her. Indeed, it fometimes happens 

 that fhe is, as we fay, winded where fhe 

 fits. But this may be the effedt of that 

 train of fcent fhe left behind her in going to 

 her chair, or more probably the confequencs 

 of her own curioiity, in moving, and fifing 

 up, (as I have alfo feen,) to peep after and 

 Watch the proceedings of her adverfaries* 

 However, we mufl grant that thefe particles 

 of fcent, though the effecft of motion, are 

 not more grofs and copious in proportion to 

 the increafmg fwiftnefs of the animal, any 

 more than in a watering-pot, which the 

 fwifter it pafles, the lefs of the falling 

 water it beflows on tlie lubjacent plants. 



It is very plain, the flower the Hare 

 moves, the ftronger and groffer, ceteris pa^ 



ribus^
