DAY III 



CHAPTER I 



Conference betwixt an Angler, a Hunter , **/ # Falconer ; each 

 commending his Recreation 



PISCATOR, VENATOR, AUCEPS 



ISCATOR. You are well overtaken, gentlemen ; 

 a good morning to you both ; I have stretched 

 my legs up Tottenham Hill to overtake you, 

 hoping your business may occasion you towards 

 Ware, whither I am going this fine, fresh May 

 morning. 



VENATOR. Sir, I for my part shall almost 

 answer your hopes ; for my purpose is to drink my morning's 

 draught at the Thatched House in Hoddesden, and I think not to 

 rest till I come thither, where I have appointed a friend or two to 

 meet me : but for this gentleman that you see with me, I know not 

 how far he intends his journey ; he came so lately into my company, 

 that I have scarce had time to ask him the question. 



AUCEPS. Sir, I shall, by your favour, bear you company as far 

 as Theobald's, and there leave you ; for then I turn up to a friend's 

 house who mews a hawk for me, which I now long to see.
