212 The boohe of Hunting 



one will be gone, and all the reft will abide, or els fome one wil 

 abide, and all the reft will be gone : but thofe whiche be full, do 

 moft willingly tarie alwayes : and when they fedde not theyr fill 

 the day before, then they tarie longer than fuche as fedde their 

 iill ouer night, or yong Wolues, or fuche other : for an olde 

 Wolfe is fo doubtfull and fo full of miftruft, that he will fel- 

 dome abide where he feedeth. And therefore it were no badde 

 pollicie, to leaue but little meate at the place wherevnto you 

 trayne, and to leaue harde by the place, fome weake beaft tyed, 

 fo that it can neyther ftray away nor make defence. And when 

 the Wolues come and finde but little carion at the place, then 

 to fatiffie their hunger, they will fall vppon that beafte and de- 

 uoure it : Whiche if they do not the firfte night, they will fure- 

 ly do it the nexte night if you obferue that order : and by that 

 meanes they will feede theyr fill, and the rather abyde and tarie 

 by it or neare vnto it : for they are gluttons, and defirous to 

 keepe the remnant of their praye, when they haue killed a beaft 

 and leaue any of it. And when the Huntefman fliall by thefe 

 meanes haue bene afTured of theyr fcedyng twoo nightes togi- 

 ther, then may he make preparacion to hunte them on the thirde 

 day : or if they fayle to come vnto the trayne the firfte or fe- 

 conde daye, then lette him fende out Varlettes to trayne from 

 aboute all the couerts adioyning vnto the fame place : and fo 

 doyng, he cannot mifle but drawe Wolues thither once within 

 twoo or three nightes, vnlelTe it be in Februarie. In that mo- 

 neth they make fmall accoumpt of any trayne, by reafon of their 

 heate in followyng the Saulte bitches. And fometimes alfo 

 a Wolfe will followe the trayne euen vntill they come at the ca- 

 rion, and yet when they come there will go their wayes and 

 not feede vppon it. In fuche a cafe the Huntefman fhall change 

 his trayne and carion, as if it were of Horfeflefhe, or beefe, lette 

 him make it of Sheepes or Goates fleflie, or the fleflie of an 

 AfTe (whiche Wolues do loue exceedingly,) or of Hogges flefh : 

 for otherwyfe he flioulde not be able to knowe whether there 

 be any Wolues neare vnto the place where he trayned or not :
