WARE HARE ; WARE MUTTON ; are checks of 

 decisive recall from most unlawful pursuits : 

 for the former of which, if admitted, the 

 tutor ought to be flogged; and, for the 

 latter, the pupil hanged. Observe, the 

 ware is to have the full broad sound of the 

 south : it fills the mouth nobly. 



WARE LARK ; a summons to break off the 

 pupil from trifling upon a worthless haunt; 

 which, during the obvious rising of the bird 

 before him, he is to be challenged with, in 

 order to rouse him to a higher sense of 

 discernment and more dignified pursuits*. 

 If this trifling should amount to drawing 

 into point, let him be shamed out of the 

 practice by a harsh tone of reproach, by a 

 smack of the whip, and by a show on the 

 part of the tutor of an advance on beat, 

 with Hold up ! &c.

* On the moors, where the small heath-bird or ling-bird 

 disturbs the attention of a young dog, the phrase of ware 

 bird is in pretty general use for this purpose. It obtains 

 too, I believe, in some other countries : but, as I have a 

 superior use for that phrase presently, I beg to supersede its 

 meaner application altogether, and to offer the ware LARK ! 

 for it, upon all occasions. In the south this will, nine times 

 in ten, denote the very object of interruption ; and it will 

 be better elsewhere to admit the misnomer, than to puzzle 

 the pupil with distinctions in natural history.
