348 SHAKESPEARE'S [wour. 
he findeth none other prey; and deceiveth sheep more with 
guile and wrenches [tricks] than with might and strength. 
He infecteth the wool of the sheep that hé slayeth, and his 
biting maketh the cloth lousy, that is made of that wool. 
Also a string made of a Wolf’s gut, put among. harp- 
strings made of the guts of sheep, destroyeth and corrupteth 
them, as the eagle's feathers put among culver’s pilleth 
and gnaweth them, if they be there left together long in 
one place. Bartholomew (Berthelet), bk. xviii. § 71. 
A Wo tr doth fear greatly stones; therefore when he is

will they cease from doing this, until they feel or perceive 
that the said dung is taken away (Mzzaldus). 
Ibid, bk. vi. § 80.

cannot run. Ibid., bk. viii. § 2.

neither cats, weasels, nor any thing that will hurt pigeons 
will enter therein. Ibid., bk, ii, § 78. 
Betis covered with the skin of a Wolf do drown the 
sound of other bells that are covered with the skin of a 
lamb. Ibid., § 92. 
WHOSOEVER anoints his feet or hands with the grease 
of a Wolf, he shall not be hurt with any cold of his 
hands or feet so anointed (Mizaldus). Ibid. bk. iii, § 44. :
