suffered to live, as not able to be destroyed because of 
their great numbers.

Bugle. 
[Bugle-Bracelet is probably a bracelet of glass beads (“ Winter’s 
Tale,” iv. 4, 224), but “your Bugle eyeballs” (‘As You Like It,” 
iii. 5, 47) may refer to the Bugle or buffalo, as ‘“‘ Bugle-browed ” 
in Middleton’s “ Anything for a Quiet Life.” Phebe quotes 
Rosalind’s words with a difference in 1. 130: 
He said mine eyes were black. 
Bartholomew (bk. xviii. § 15) describes the Bugle (¢.¢., buffalo) 
as black or red. Or “ Bugle eyeballs” may have a similar mean- 
ing to Homer’s “ox-eyed.”] 
Bucte flesh sod or roasted healeth man’s biting. His 
marrow taken out of the right leg doth away hair off the 
eyelids. His hoof with myrrh fasteneth wagging teeth. 
And Bugle-milk is full good against smiting of serpents 
and of scorpions, and against venom of the cricket [and 
of the salamander]. Also some be wonderful great, and 
nevertheless most quiver and swift; in so much wt fimum — 
quem projiciunt in turning about falleth on their horns or 
ever it may come to the ground. When the cow’s time 
of calving cometh, many of them come about her, and make 
of dirt as it were a wall. Bartholomew, ut supra, 
Bull. 
Butts of Ind be red, and swift and cruel, and their 
hair is turned in contrary wise, and such a Bull bendeth 
the neck at his own will, and putteth off darts and shot 
with hardness of the back; and is fierce and is not over- 
come ; and when he is tied under a fig-tree, he loseth and 
leaveth all his fierceness, and is suddenly sober and soft. 
If. thou dost cut and slit his skin, so that it arear some- 
what from his flesh with blowing with a. pipe, and givest 
him afterward to eat, then he fatteth; and is made fat
