232 SHAKESPEARE'S [PARAQUITO. 



THEY have one mark on their shoulder resembling the 

 moon, growing and decreasing as she doth, some times 

 showing a full compass, and otherwhiles hollowed and 

 pointed with tips like horns. 



Hollands P/iny, bk. viii. ch. xvii. 



A BROTH made of such pullein [cocks and capons] hath 

 a singular virtue for neither lions nor Panthers will set 

 upon those persons who are bathed with their decoction, 

 especially if there were any garlic sodden therein. 



Ibid.) bk xxix. ch. iv. 



THE Panther so 



Breathes odours precious as the Sannatic gums 

 Of Eastern groves, but the delicious scent, 

 Not taken in at distance, chokes the sense 

 With the too musky flavour. 



Glapthorne, " Hollander." 



THE Panther though his skin be fair, yet his breath is 

 infectious. Reynolds, "God's Revenge against Murder," p. 257. 



V. Leopard and Pard. 

 Paraquito. 



i. KING HENRY IV., ii. 388. 



V. Parrot. 

 Pard. 



TEMPEST, fv. I, 262. 



THE Pard is the most swift beast, with many diverse 

 colours and round specks as the panther, and reseth to 

 blood, and dyeth in leaping, and varieth not from the 

 panther, but the panther hath more white specks. The 

 Pard when he is sick eateth man's dirt because of medicine; 

 hunters hang that dirt on a tree, and he goeth up to it; 

 and the hunters slay him. And is lecherous, and gendereth 

 with the lioness : of that bastard generation cometh the 

 leopard [y. Lioness]. The Pard is cruel when his whelps 

 be Stolen. Bartholomew (Bertkelet), bk. xviii. 83.
