1 8 The Complete Angler 



The Bockerel and Bockeret, 



The Saker and Sacaret, 



The Merlin and Jack Merlin, 



The Hobby and Jack : 

 There is the Stelletto of Spain, 



The Bloocl-red Rook from Turkey. 



The Waskite from Virginia : 

 And there is of short-winged Hawks, 



The Eagle and Iron, 



The Goshawk and Tarcel, 



The Sparhawk and Musket, 



The French Pye of two sorts : 



These are reckoned Hawks of note and worth ; but 

 we have also of an inferior rank, 



The Stanyel, the Ringtail, 



The Raven, the Buzzard, 



The Forked Kite, the Bald Buzzard, 



The Hen-driver, and others that I forbear to 



name. 



Gentlemen, if I should enlarge my discourse to 

 the observation of the Eires, the Brancher, the 

 Ramish Hawk, the Haggard, and the two sorts of 

 Lentners, and then treat of their several Ayries, 

 their Mewings, rare order of casting, and the re- 

 novation of their feathers : their reclaiming, dieting, 

 and then come to their rare stories of practice ; I 

 say, if I should enter into these, and many other 

 observations that I could make, it would be much, 

 very much pleasure to me : but lest I should break 

 the rules of civility with you, by taking up more 

 than the proportion of time allotted to me, I will 

 here break off, and entreat you, Mr. Venator, to say 

 what you are able in the commendation of Hunting, 

 to which you are so much affected ; and if <time 

 will serve, I will beg your favour for a further en- 

 largement of some of those several heads of which 

 I have spoken. But no more at present.
