148 SHAKESPEARE'S [HAZEL. 



pores be opened. And when the pores be so opened, she 

 smiteth and flappeth her wings, and in so doing the old 

 feathers leap out, and new grow ; and so the new feathers 

 make her in better state and the more able to flight. And 

 two kinds there be of such fowls : for some be tame, and 

 some be wild. And he that is tame taketh wild fowls, and 

 taketh them to his lord ; and he that is wild taketh tame 

 fowls. And this goshawk is of a disdainous kind ; for if 

 she fail by any hap of the prey that she reseth to, that day 

 uneath she cometh to her lord's hand. And they be borne 

 on the left hand, that they may somewhat take of the right 

 hand, and be fed therewith. 



Bartholomew {Berthelei}, bk. xii. 2., where also are various 

 directions for keeping and feeding hawks, for which see 

 also Markkam's " Husbandry," etc. 



WE find in falconry 16 kinds of Hawks or fowls that 

 prey. Of which the Circos (which is lame and limpeth of 

 one leg) was held in ancient time for the luckiest augury 

 in case of weddings and of cattle. In general, Hawks are 

 divided into sundry and distinct kinds by their greediness 



more or less. Holland's Pliny, bk. x. ch. viii. 



THE Hawk holds beneath its talons all night a bird that 

 fortune offers it at night-time, but when the sun rises the 

 Hawk even though hungry Jets the bird fly away, and if 

 he meets it at some other time, does not pursue it.

 " Heart's-ease " is properly the name of the wall-flower, but he 

 gives no authority for the statement]
