PART I. 



CHAP. I. 



Conference betwixt an ANGLER, a HUNTER, and a FALCONER ; 

 each commending his Recreation. 



PI8CATOR, VENATOR, AUCEPS. 



Piscator. X OU are well overtaken, Gentlemen! A 

 good morning to you both! I have stretched my legs ufv 

 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 Thatch'd House in Hodsden, 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 com- 

 pany as far as Theobalds, 1 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. 



(1) Theobalds, in the county of Hertford, a house built by Lord Burleigh, 

 and much improved by his on, Robert Earl of Salisbury, who exchanged it 

 with King James the First, for Hatfield. Cumd. Brit. Hertfordshire. Se 

 also Sir Anthony Weldon's Court and Char, of KtngMmtt, 51.
