Howe appetite is bred (with health) in homely cates. 

 While Surfet fits in vaine excefle, and Banquet breeds debates. 



How cries of well mouthd hounds, do counteruaile the coft. 

 Which many a man (beyond his reach) on inftruments hath loft. 



C" How fetting of Relayes, may reprefent the skyll, \ 'y 



Which fouldiours vfe in Embuflies, their flirious foes to kyll. 



How Foxe and Badgerd both, make patterns (in their denne) 

 Of Flotformes^ Loopes^ and Cafamats^ deuifde by warlike men. 



How fighting out at Bay, of Hart, Bucke, Goate, or Bore, 

 Declares the valiant Romains death^ when might may do no more. 



How fight of fuch delights, doth fcorne all common fhowes. 

 Of Enterludes, of Tumblers tricks, of antikes, mocks, and mowes, 



And how the nimble Hare, by turning in hir courfe. 

 Doth plainly proue that FoUicie^ fometime furpafleth force. 



The Venfon not forgot, moft meete for Princes dyfhe : 

 All thefe with more could I rehearfe, as much as wit could wyflie. 



But let thefe few fuflSce, it is a Nohle ^ort^ 

 To recreate the mindes of Men^ in good and godly fort, 



A f^ort for Nohle peeres^ a J^ or t for gentle bloods^ 

 The paine I leaue for feruants fuch, as beate the bufliie woods, 



To make their mafters fport. Then let the Lords reioyce^ 

 Let gentlemen heholde the glee^ and take thereof the choyce. 



For my part (being one) I muft needes fay my minde. 

 That Hunting nuas ordeyned firfi^ for Men of Noble kinde. ^ 



And vnto them therefore, I recommend the fame. 

 As exercife that beft becommes, their worthy noble name.
