The
Translator
to
the
Reader
.
FOr
asmuch
(
gentle
Reader
)
as
the
works
of
God
are
maruelous
,
not
onelye
in
vs
his
creatures
,
whom
he
hath
fashioned
and
formed
like
to
his
similitude
,
but
also
in
others
,
as
beastes
,
foules
,
fishes
,
trées
,
plantes
,
&
such
like
,
whose
miraculous
works
,
although
vnto
vs
some
things
séeme
vncredible
:
yet
if
we
did
consider
the
omnipotencie
of
God
,
vnto
whom
nothing
is
vnpossible
,
doubtlesse
we
should
not
runne
into
so
many
daungers
of
sinne
as
we
daily
do
.
And
therfore
I
thought
good
somwhat
to
profite
my
countrey
,
with
that
small
talent
that
God
hath
lent
me
,
in
translating
out
of
French
,
into
our
Englishe
tongue
,
parte
of
the
Secretes
of
that
notable
Historiographer
Plinie
,
abstracted
out
of
the
sixtene
first
bookes
of
his
natural
history
wherin
is
contained
wonderfull
&
straunge
things
(
vnto
vs
)
of
the
diuersitie
of
countreyes
,
the
commodities
thereof
,
wyth
the
most
monstrous
,
and
vggly
shape
of
men
inhabiting
the
said
countreys
,
which
though
it
some
vnto
vs
as
fables
&
lyes
,
yet
(
as
I
sayd
before
)
nothing
is
impossible
vnto
god
.
For
as
his
hande
hath
made
all
things
,
yea
and
straunge
things
,
which
vnto
vs
is
wel
knowen
:
so
can
he
also
make
forraine
thinges
,
which
vnto
vs
are
vnknowen
.
But
least
it
shoulde
seeme
to
the
Reader
,
that
I
shoulde
affirme
that
whiche
I
doe
not
knowe
,
therefore
I
referre
it
vnto
the
learned
reader
,
to
this
end
,
that
he
may
iudge
the
truth
.
And
whereas
Plinie
commendeth
the
notable
wit
,
pollicie
,
strength
,
and
memorie
of
dyuers
Romaines
:
so
might
I
in
like
case
,
of
many
of
our
owne
countrey
,
whose
notable
pollicie
,
tried
strength
,
sharpenesse
of
witte
,
and
perfect
memorie
,
vnto
vs
is
well
knowen
,
to
be
equal
with
those
Romaines
,
of
whom
Plinie
doth
recite
.
But
I
omitte
that
for
prolixitie
,
folowing
mine
aucthour
.
(
neyther
adding
nor
diminishing
)
As
touching
the
rest
conteyned
in
this
booke
,
whereof
we
haue
heard
,
&
somewhat
séene
by
experience
,
I
doubt
not
,
but
the
Readers
will
veref●e
the
same
.
And
therefore
I
refer
al
things
vnto
the
gentle
Reader
,
whome
I
desire
to
iudge
indifferently
.
Fare
well
.

not

of

more

flourisheth

I
could
not
by

that

thy

Illustrious

shoulde
be
spoken

that

I

it

so
that
the

necessary

And

The
Secretes
of
the
sixtene
first
bookes
of
Plinie
natural
Historian
.
PLinie
the
naturall
Historiographer
,
was
borne
vnder
the
Emperor
Tyberian
,
and
dyed
vnder
Titus
,
the
Emperour
,
that
destroyed
Ierusalem
,
after
the
death
and
passion
of
oure
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
in
which
tyme
he
did
attribute
his
workes
.
In
the
first
booke
(
which
is
briefe
,
)
he
maketh
his
preambles
.
In
the
seconde
,
he
treateth
of
the
worlde
,
and
of
other
matters
.
He
describeth
that
the
worlde
is
alone
and
rounde
,
naturally
vnmoucable
,
althoughe
that
there
are
certayne
places
moueable
,
and
that
maye
moue
,
by
the
concauites
of
the
earth
,
being
full
of
wynde
.
There
are
foure
Elementes
,
the
earth
,
the
water
,
and
the
fyre
aboue
the
ayre
,
néere
to
the
first
firmament
.
Which
is
fyre
naturall
,
and
therefore
there
néedeth
no
woode
to
continue
the
same
.
Under
the
earth
are
the
planets
,
which
are
called
strayers
,
and
yet
they
moue
lesse
than
the
others
,
but
it
is
of
the
mutation
of
their
influences
,
and
of
the
firmament
:
among
the
which
is
the
Sunne
rector
and
guider
of
the
other
planets
,
principall
gouernour
of
nature
.
The
other
stars
are
not
atributed
(
as
some
doe
thinke
,
as
the
greatest
and
clearest
to
the
rich
:
and
the
least
to
the
pore
,
and
the
obscure
and
darke
Star●es
,
to
those
that
of
nature
are
infected
.
For
we
haue
no
suche
societie
with
the
stars
,
that
they
shoulde
die
with
vs
,
and
therefore
they
are
equally
deuyded
,
seruing
to
ech
one
.
The
mone
hath
hir
planet
comming
before
hir
,
as
the
Sunne
hath
the
day
starre
,
she
doth
encrease
and
diminish
,
and
sometimes
is
at
the
full
,
and
sometymes
she
hath
hornes
,
euen
as
the
Sunne
doth
giue
and
take
awaye
hir
clearenesse
.
The
earth
is
betwene
them
both
,
the
Mone
is
in
the
first
heauen
,
the
Sunne
in
the
fourth
,
and
when
the
one
is
highe
,
the
other
is
lowe
,
and
the
other
stars
are
more
higher
in
the
skie
,
and
therefore
they
seme
lesse
than
the
Mone
.
The
obscuritie
and
dar●knesse
of
the
Mone
,
commeth
by
the
humours
of
the
earth
that
is
drawne
or
s●uked
vp
,
from
the
earth
.
By
the
geometrie
of
this
world
,
the
Stade
which
is
sorty
roddes
,
doth
containe
.
125.
paces
,
the
which
are
.
525.
fote
.
Sometimes
there
hath
bene
séene
in
the
appearance
,
thre
Sunnes
,
and
thre
Moones
.
In
the
ayre
it
rayneth
sometimes
naturally
,
stones
,
sucke
vp
by
the
vapours
of
the
earth
,
sometymes
Frogs
,
and
sometime
bloud
in
diuers
figures
.
The
Heliotropium
in
his
floure
doth
turne
euery
day
and
follow
the
sunne
.
The
Ant
doth
neuer
begin
to
hourd
vp
but
in
the
full
Moone
.
The
nature
of
the
windes
are
dyuers
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
Countreyes
,
and
they
procéede
of
the
earth
,
and
of
the
vapors
of
the
same
,
which
causeth
somtimes
in
many
places
earthquakes
.
The
thunders
and
lightninges
doe
neuer
fall
in
the
winter
,
for
the
coldnesse
of
the
aire
doth
kepe
them
in
and
choakes
them
,
&
therefore
they
fall
in
the
Sommer
,
and
many
times
thei
marre
the
wine
,
without
touching
the
vessell
.
There
was
a
woman
at
Rome
whose
child
was
slaine
within
hir
wom
be
,
by
thunder
&
lightning
,
and
the
woman
had
no
hurt
at
all
.
Thrée
things
there
are
that
neuer
feele
any
harme
by
thunders
&
lightnings
:
the
Lawrel
trée
on
the
earth
,
the
Eagle
in
the
Sky
,
and
the
Seacalfe
in
the
sea
,
for
they
neuer
fall
vpon
their
skinnes
,
therefore
best
assured
are
they
that
are
so
clad
.
Naturally
there
are
signes
and
tokens
in
the
earth
,
the
sea
,
&
the
aire
,
and
therefore
it
hath
rayned
somtimes
bloude
,
stones
,
woll
,
yea
great
stones
acumulated
in
the
aire
by
the
coldnesse
therof
.
The
Raynebowe
is
not
séene
in
a
close
&
rainy
day
:
but
the
sunne
beames
entring
into
the
concauites
of
the
earth
,
do
reflere
the
Sunne
,
and
make
varietie
of
colours
,
by
the
mixture
of
the
cloudes
in
the
ayre
,
and
is
séene
moste
commonly
in
the
Sōmet
.
Also
there
are
neuer
lightly
sene
aboue
two
Rainbowes
.
The
earth
is
the
mother
of
al
liuing
creatures
.
In
the
ayre
is
séene
many
tymes
darkenesse
and
clowdes
,
the
hayles
are
deryued
of
the
wa●ers
,
but
the
earth
is
lowely
,
seruing
to
all
cr●atures
,
shée
bringeth
forth
corne
,
wine
,
fruites
,
&
all
kind
of
things
pertaining
to
man
.
She
bringeth
forth
yron
,
lead
,
golde
,
siluer
,
precious
stones
,
&
herbes
,
seruing
vnto
mans
helth
,
yea
if
that
a
s●rpent
chaunce
to
byte
any
person
,
the
earth
will
not
receyue
that
serpent
when
it
is
dead
.
The
earth
is
compassed
rounde
about
with
waters
,
the
which
is
mo●e
knowen
by
experience
,
than
by
arguments
,
&
some
part
thereof
is
not
inhabited
towardes
the
North
,
bycause
of
the
great
colde
.
An other
part
is
not
inhabited
bycause
of
the
extreme
heate
,
towards
the
south
.
The
middle
of
the
earth
is
the
Centry
,
to
the
whiche
most
wayghtiest
thinges
doe
take
holde
.
In
some
places
there
is
no
shadow
of
the
sunne
,
specially
in
Alexandria
the
great
,
where
as
there
is
a
depe
well
without
shadowe
.
Anaxemenes
Milesius
was
the
first
founder
of
Dials
.
There
are
many
signes
of
mouings
,
&
mutation
of
tymes
,
without
great
appearance
,
as
in
the
sea
when
that
without
winde
,
the
waues
do
ryse
and
rage
.
And
in
the
skye
,
when
that
there
is
a
long
strype
or
line
:
and
when
that
the
well
waters
are
troubled
.
Two
mountaynes
haue
bene
séene
naturally
hyt
and
touch
one
another
,
as
if
they
had
foughten
,
the
waters
meting
together
to
striue
and
maruellously
to
encrease
,
&
beastes
to
dye
.
In
Asia
twelue
cities
were
subuerted
by
the
earthquakes
,
without
perceyuing
thereof
at
Rome
.
Neare
vnto
Rome
there
are
two
hundreth
acers
of
ground
,
the
which
doth
shake
when
there
are
horses
running
thereon
.
In
the
Ile
of
Paphos
there
is
a
place
where
there
did
neuer
fall
rayne
.
And
in
the
same
Ile
Nea
in
the
City
of
Troados
,
the
sacrifices
do
neuer
putrifle
nor
rot
.
Nere
Nere
to
Harpasa
a
town
in
Asia
,
there
is
a
great
Mountaine
,
that
one
may
shake
with
their
finger
,
but
if
you
put
your
whole
strength
to
it
,
it
remay●eth
vnmoueable
.
There
are
two
mountaines
neare
to
the
floud
of
Nyle
,
the
nature
of
them
are
dyuers
,
for
the
one
re●ayneth
yron
,
the
other
casteth
it
off
,
in
such
sorte
,
that
if
any
of
their
shooes
be
clouted
with
nayles
,
that
goe
vpon
the
sayd
hil
,
they
can
neyther
go
nor
stand
,
but
are
cast
off
:
and
on
the
other
hyll
,
their
shooes
will
sticke
fast
.
In
the
City
of
Charagena
,
there
is
a
certaine
ground
that
healeth
all
kinde
of
sores
,
and
diseases
,
the
Sea
doth
pourge
in
the
full
Moone
:
&
the
fluctuations
of
the
seas
,
commeth
by
the
Sunne
and
Moone
,
the
which
causeth
it
.
In
the
hys
Sea
there
neuer
falleth
snow
,
the
sea
is
most
hottest
in
winter
,
and
saltest
in
Sommer
.
Of
fresh
waters
there
are
diuers
sorts
.
In
Dodone
is
the
fountaine
called
Iupiters
spring
,
whiche
doth
kindle
firebrandes
,
it
diminisheth
at
Noone
,
and
encreaseth
at
midnight
,
and
then
afterwards
decreaseth
,
&
fayleth
at
myd
day
.
There
are
many
hote
waters
bycause
of
the
smoke
&
closenesse
of
the
hylles
from
whence
these
hote
waters
spring
.
There
are
springs
that
●il
make
black
shéepe
become
white
,
and
other
waters
that
maketh
white
shepe
become
black
by
continuance
of
drinking
,
and
others
that
the
ewes
that
drinke
in
them
their
milke
will
become
blacke
.
At
Lincestis
there
is
a
fountayne
of
water
,
that
will
make
them
that
drinke
therof
dronken
.
Also
in
Paphlagonia
,
and
in
the
fielde
Calenus
,
in
the
Ile
of
Andro
,
there
is
a
Fountaine
or
spring
,
that
rendreth
wine
euery
yeare
in
the
Nonas
of
Ianuary
.
In
a
field
called
Carrimensis
,
in
Spaine
,
there
is
a
Ryuer
that
wil
make
the
fishes
that
are
therein
to
séeme
of
the
colour
of
golde
,
and
if
they
are
put
into
any
other
water
,
they
will
séeme
as
other
fishes
.
Among
the
maruelles
of
fire
,
the
Mountayne
called
Ethna
,
in
Sicilia
burneth
continually
,
the
flames
whereof
are
sene
aboue
the
hill
toppe
.
An other
hill
that
is
called
Chimera
,
burneth
in
like
maner
,
the
fire
of
which
hill
is
so●er
quenched
with
earth
or
with
hay
,
than
with
water
.
In
the

fourth
,
fifth

and
sixth

Plinie
describeth
the

The

of
man

THe
world
hath
brought
forth
many
things
,
of
the
which
man
is
almoste
the

He
hath
clothed
the

man
commeth
forth
all
naked
ready

lightly
before

he
doth
not
laugh
:
he
that
ought
to
raigne
ouer
the
beastes
on

,
is
at
the

weaker
than
any

he
knoweth
nothing
without
he
be
taught
,
neyther
to
speake
nor
to

,
and
naturally
doth
nothing
but
weepe

Naturally
the

seeke

flye
from

,
swimme

with
many
other

the

therefore
the

beastes
that

eng●der

In

If

they

When

Others

In

the
women
neuer
beare
children

whose

And
others
called
Sciopedae

so
brode

they
couer
them

Some
towarde

haue
eyes

others
called
Epithamai
Pigmei

In
the
farther
part
of
India
towards
the
East
neare
to
the
Ryuer
of
Gangis

there
is
a
people
clad
with
leaues
,
that
liue
by
smelling
,
they
neuer
eate
nor
drinke
in
their
iourneys
,
they
beare
floures
and
rootes
to
smell
at
,
and
they
are
easely
killed
by
filthy
smelles
and
sauours
.
There
are
little
men
called
Pigmei
,
among
whiche
the
highest
passe
not
the
hight
of
two
cubites
,
hauing
a
wholsome
ayre
and
pleasant
countrey
where
they
dwel
,
the
which
men
are
molested
with
Cranes
,
as
writeth
Homer
,
therfore
it
is
no
maruell
thoughe
often
tymes
they
are
caryed
away
with
those
Cranes
.
In
the
spring
time
the
Pigmei
assemble
together
mounted
vpon
shéepe
and
Goates
,
armed
with
darts
and
arrowes
,
for
to
discend
downe
to
the
sea
,
and
for
the
space
of
thrée
monthes
,
consume
and
breake
the
Cranes
Egges
,
and
kill
the
yong
ones
,
otherwise
they
woulde
so
multiplie
,
that
those
little
men
should
neuer
rest
in
quiet
.
Some
there
are
in
the
valleys
called
Pandore
that
liue
two
hundreth
yeares
,
in
their
youth
hauing
whyte
haire
,
in
age
their
haires
become
blacke
.
There
is
a
people
that
lyueth
but
fortie
yeares
,
whose
wyues
doe
bring
forth
children
at
the
age
of
seauen
yeares
.
There
are
people
that
haue
long
hairy
tayles
growing
.
These
things
and
others
hath
nature
made
monstruous
,
for
our
examples
.
Among
the
women
there
are
dyuers
childings
,
some
haue
had
six
children
,
some
eyght
,
and
some
nine
,
and
sometime
children
of
dyuers
kindes
,
which
are
called
Hermaphrodites
,
whiche
are
both
man
and
woman
.
There
hath
bene
that
haue
had
in
their
lyfe
tyme
thirtie
Children
,
and
among
the
maruelles
of
the
worlde
,
a
childe
being
newe
borne
did
enter
againe
into
his
mothers
wombe
,
in
the
Citie
of
Saguntra
.
And
it
is
no
fable
nor
tale
,
to
haue
sene
women
and
maydes
transformed
into
men
.
The
females
are
soner
engendred
than
the
Male
,
and
become
sonest
olde
,
the
Females
do
moue
in
their
mothers
wombe
,
most
on
the
left
side
,
and
the
Males
on
the
righte
side
.
And
Plinie
reciteth
to
haue
sene
a
mayde
,
on
the
night
of
hir
mariage
,
to
be
naturally
transformed
into
a
man
,
and
incontinent
hir
beard
to
grewe
,
&
she
to
be
maried
againe
to
a
woman
.
If
that
a
woman
bring
forth
two
children
at
one
burthen
,
lightly
there
is
shorte
lyfe
,
eyther
to
the
mother
,
or
to
one
of
hir
children
,
and
if
they
be
both
Males
,
or
Females
,
then
are
they
lyghtly
of
a
shorte
life
.
Among
the
women
there
is
no
certaine
time
prefixed
of
their
trauailings
with
childe
,
for
some
be
delyuered
in
seuen

That

hath

Miserable
is
the
condition
of

.
For
the
Princes
by
this
meanes
haue
their
originall
,
and
are
subiect
to
fortune
,
and
hath
nature
as
others
.
We
reade
of
a
Romaine
Prince
that
dyed
in
the
morning
in
pulling
on
his
hose
,
an
other
dyed
with
the
stinging
or
byting
of
a
Grape
,
an
other
was
chooked
with
a
haire
,
in
eating
of
Milke
.
Scipio
Affricanus
was
the
first
called
Cesar
,
for
that
(
Caesus
fuit
matris
Vterus
)
hys
mothers
wombe
was
opened
,
for
him
to
passe
out
.
Of
those
that
are
crypple
,
lame
,
and
counterfeite
of
nature
,
commeth
whole
lymmed
&
perfect
children
,
in
their
members
:
and
sometymes
of
perfect
and
well
proporcioned
people
,
commeth
lame
and
vnperfect
children
.
A
woman
doth
not
beare
children
after
fiftye
yeares
,
and
there
are
many
that
ceasse
at
fortye
.
As
touching
men
we
reade
truely
of
a
Prince
,
which
at
the
age
of
foure
score
and
sixe
yeres
begat
a
childe
.
When
Cato
was
borne
,
his
father
was
foure
score
yeares
olde
.
Unto
children
their
téeth
come
commonly
at
senem
monethes
,
the
seuenth
yeare
they
renue
,
for
then
their
téeth
fall
,
and
there
commeth
to
them
others
,
and
some
are
borne
with
téeth
.
And
if
that
a
dead
body
be
burned
,
the
téeth
wil
neuer
burne
but
remayne
whole
.
Unto
some
their
téeth
fayle
them
at
middle
age
,
commonlye
a
man
hath
thirty
two
teeth
,
and
he
that
hath
more
,
is
estéemed
to
be
the
longer
lyuer
.
Zoroastes
did
laugh
that
day
he
was
borne
,
yea
that
with
the
very
force
of
laughing
he
did
reiecte
the
hande
that
was
vpon
his
heade
,
for
the
placing
and
fashioning
of
his
heade
,
&
setling
of
his
braines
.
A
man
is
as
long
from
the
foote
to
the
heade
,
as
the
extending
or
spreading
abroade
of
hys
armes
,
counting
from
the
great
fingers
.
Men
doe
way
more
than
women
,
the
dead
bodies
way
more
than
the
liuing
,
and
those
that
are
a
sléepe
,
way
more
than
they
that
are
awake
.
Some
lyue
without
marow
in

,
&
therfore
they
neuer
thirst
,
&
for
this
cause
women
drinke
lesse
than
men
:
and
such
do
neuer
sweat
.
It
is
recited
of
Crassus
the
Senatour
,
that
he
did
neuer
laugh
.
Socrates
the
great
clarke
,
was
neuer
séene
mery
nor
ioyful
,
nor
angry
at
one
time
more
than
at
an
other
,
and
therefore
mennes
complexions
are
dyuers
.
In

hath
bene

The
strength
of

hath
bene

from

place
,
there
was
no

If

there
was
no

able

Also

Marmecides
made

And
he
made
a

that

For

there

Pitifull
thinges
are
founde
worthie
of
memorie
,
thorowe
all
partes
,
among
the
which
,
it
commeth
to
my
remembrance
,
of
a
woman
taken
in
Rome
,
for
to
dye
for
offence
,
and
being
put
into
straight
Prison
there
to
be
famished
,
hir
daughter
had
lycence
of
the
Iayler
to
goe
sée
hir
euery
day
,
but
shée
was
searched
for
feare
least
shée
should
bring
hir
mother
foode
.
In
the
ende
it
was
found
,
that
euery
day
she
did
giue
hir
mother
sucke
with
hir
breastes
,
and
for
to
satisfie
hir
shee
came
dayly
.
The
Senators
hauing
intelligence
therof
,
did
pardon
the
mother
for
the
vertue
that
was
in
the
daughter
,
and
did
appoynte
them
a
lyuing
during
their
lyues
.
Marucllous
are
the
operations
of
humaine
creatures
,
among
others
onely
of
paintings
,
that
doe
resemble
the
lyuing
so
nere
,
that
there
resteth
nothing
but
the
speach
.
The
king
Attallus
bought
a
table
or
picture
of
a
Painter
,
whiche
cost
a
hundreth
Markes
.
Cesar
bought
two
for
eyght
hundreth
Markes
.
Mans
age
hath
bene
reputed
greate
among
the
auncients
,
which
do
name
Princes
and
kings
to
haue
lyued
eyght
hundreth
yeares
,
and
a
thousand
yeares
,
but
it
is
by
the
varietie
of
yeres
,
for
some
make
the
Sommer
a
yeare
,
and
the
winter
another
yeare
,
and
others
make
thrée
monthes
a
yeare
,
as
the
Arcadians
,
&
you
muste
not
stay
nor
iudge
things
by
the
constellation
of
the
firmament
.
For
in
one
present
houre
many
are
born
as
well
seruaunts
as
maysters
,
kings
and
magistrates
,
whose
fortunes
are
al
dyuers
&
contrarie
.
Many
examples
we
haue
of
sickenesses
.
Publius
Cornelius
Rufus
in
dreaming
to
haue
loste
his
sight
,
became
blinde
&
lost
his
sight
.
Some
there
are
that
liue
but
til
middle
age
,
and
others
that
dye
in
their
youth
,
and
nature
doth
giue
a
man
nothing
better
than
short
life
.
To
liue
long
the
senses
&
understanding
become
blunt
,
the
whole
members
féele
dolor
,
the
sight
,
the
hearing
,
and
the
going
fayle
,
the
téeth
also
,
&
the
instruments
of
meats
:
therefore
age
is
but
payne
,
and
there
is
a
tyme
prefixed
to
liue
.
We
reade
no
better
example
than
of
Zenophilus
the
Musitian
,
that
lyued
a
hundreth
&
fiue
yeares
without
sicknesse
.
The
signes
of
death
,
are
to
laugh
in
the
●uror
&
grief
of
the
malady
or
sicknesse
,
to
be
bu●e
in
folding
or
doubling
the
clothes
of
hys
bed
with
his
handes
,
to
voyde
from
one
in
sléeping
behinde
,
a
fearefull
looke
,
with
other
things
,
and
therefore
séeing
that
by
experience
we
sée
innumerable
signes
of
death
,
therefore
there
is
no
certaintie
.
Sickenesses
are
dyuers

slept
in

weakened
as

haue
returned
a

from
their
graue
,
when
they
were
borne
to
be
buried
.
Pompeus
caused
a
mans
heade
to
be
smitten
off
,
which
when
it
was
layde
againe
to
the

,
did
speake
an
houre
,
both
to
the
maister
of

Aunciently
the

home
againe
,
they
knéele
downe
for
to
be
loden
,
and
carry
the
Ladyes
litters
in
feare
,
prudence
&
equitie
:
their
téeth
are
of
yuory
,
with
their
other
bones
there
are
made
goedly
workes
,
they
are
full
of
clemencie
,
and
if
they
chaunce
to
find
a
man
,
strayed
out
of
his
way
,
they
knowe
it
,
and
will
leade
him
throughe
the
Forrest
into
his
waye
:
but
if
they
find
a
company
of
men
séeking
to
chase
them
,
then
naturally
they
knowe
their
enimies
,
as
other
beastes
doe
.
The
Elephants
neuer
commit
adulterie
,
and
they
hyde
them
to
couer
their
females
,
they
carry
two
yeres
their
yong
ones
,
and
the
Females
neuer
haue
but
one
yong
in
their
lyues
,
they
liue
two
hundreth
and
thrée
hundreth
yeares
,
they
loue
the
shallow
and
cleare
waters
,
for
bycause
of
their
greatnesse
they
can
not
swim
,
they
eate
stones
and
earth
,
they
feare
colde
,
they
will
cast
to
the
ground
with
their
frontes
or
foreheads
,
trées
for
to
eate
the
fruite
.
Among
the
beastes
they
hate
Mice
,
and
Rats
,
and
they
will
not
feede
where
as
they
haue
runne
and
tasted
.
They
increase
in
the
borders
of
Affrica
,
and
the
greatest
in
India
,
where
as
there
are
Dragons
so
puissant
that
they
fight
with
the
Elephantes
.
They
are
tamed
by
famine
,
&
whe
they
are
tamed
,
they
carry
Castels
on
their
backes
in
steade
of
Saddles
,
wherein
their
may
stande
sixe
or
eight
men
,
and
towarde
the
East
they
make
in
them
,
the
most
part
of
their
battails
,
although
that
they
being
wounded
or
hurt
do
retyre
.
There
were
Elephants
at
Rome
,
but
they
were
slaine
with
shot
,
for
the
Romaines
would
not
nourish
them
,
nor
giue
them
to
Princes
.
The
Ethiopians
make
them
there
ven●son
,
and
they
kill
them
with
shooting
and
casting
dartes
,
which
they
cast
on
them
standing
in
trées
,
where
the
Elephantes
vse
to
passe
,
or
else
they
take
them
in
holes
or
caues
in
the
earth
couered
aboue
,
they
neuer
lye
downe
,
but
sléepe
leaning
against
great
tr●s
,
and
they
that
knowe
their
repaire
,
will
sawe
the
trée
so
farre
,
that
when
they
come
to
reste
them
against
the
trée
,
it
breaketh
,
and
they
fall
downe
,
then
they
kill
them
,
(
for
being
once
downe
,
they
can
neuer
rise
agayne
.
)
The
bloud
of
Elephantes
is
very
colde
,
and
therefore
the
Dragons
and
Serpents
in
that
countrey
do
assemble
vnder
their
eares
and
on
their
bodies
,
&
sucke
from
them
so
much
bloud
,
that
they
therewith
dye
.
Dragons
there
are
in
Ethiopia
,
of
ten
fadome
long
,
and
in
India
,
there
hau●
bene
found
Serpents
of
a
hundreth
foote
long
,
and
some
will
flye
in
the
ayre
to
catch
birdes
in
flying
.
In
Affrica
there
are
a
great
number
of
wilde
horses
,
&
in
Asia
great
Asses
like
vnto
Mares
,
but
for
their
long
eares
.
So
wryteth
Aristotle
the
wyse
,
which
was
appointed
by
Alexander
the
great
,
to
describe
the
diuersitie
&
nature
of
beastes
.
The
Lyon
is
full
of
noblesse
and
●lemencie
,
the
Lionesse
for
the
first
tyme
bringeth
forth
fiue
,
the
nexte
yeare
after
foure
,
then
three
,
and
when
she
bringeth
but
one
,
then
she
ceasseth
.
The
yong
ones
are
two
monthes
without
mouing
,
&
sixe
monthes
before
they
can
goe
,
they
do
soner
assaile
men
than
women
,
and
neuer
yong
children
,
vnlesse
it
be
for
great
sa●ine
.
In
their
age
they
loue
&
followe
men
,
when
that
they
can
no
more
séeke
their
pray
,
and
they
liue
till
their
téeth
fall
out
.
By
their
clemencie
they
demaunde
nothing
of
those
that
prostrate
them selues
before
them
,
and
their
yre
is
mitigate
by
prayers
,
as
we
haue
sene
by
the
experience
of
women
that
name
them selues
straungers
,
and
poore
vagabonds
,
but
they
are
fierce
to
those
that
striue
againste
them
,
their
taile
doeth
demonstrate
their
amitie
and
furor
,
as
doth
the
eares
of
horses
.
When
they
are
chased
they
nèuer
hide
them
,
they
knowe
and
pursue
among
others
those
that
hurte
them
.
The
female
if
that
hir
yong
ones
are
taken
,
closeth
hir
eyes
against●
those
that
chase
them
,
to
the
ende
that
she
feare
not
their
weapons
.
Hanus
was
the
first
that
daunted
or
tamed
their
fearcenesse
,
and
they
are
taken
in
holes
that
are
made
of
purpose
in
the
grounde
.
In
Syria
they
are
all
blacke
.
The
Panthers
are
also
full
of
clemencie
.
We
reade
that
if
the
Female
méete
a
man
strayed
or
lost
in
the
woodes
,
that
fleeth
for
feare
of
hir
,
she
will
compasse
him
mouing
hir
ta●le
,
shewing
vnto
him
a
signe
of
amitie
and
loue
,
and
after
that
he
is
assured
,
shée
will
leade
him
into
a
caue
or
hole
,
where
as
are
fallen
hir
yong
ones
by
misfortune
,
which
the
man
pulleth
out
,
and
then
shée
tumbleth
and
playeth
before
him
to
giue
him
thanks
.
The
Tygres
are
very
lyght
and
nimble
,
therefore
those
that
steale
their
yong
ones
,
as
sone
as
the
femall
findeth
them
lost
,
she
smelleth
their
way
and
runneth
after
them
,
&
when
shée
is
spyed
of
those
that
haue
hir
yong
ones
,
they
lette
one
of
them
fall
,
the
which
she
taketh
vp
,
and
caryeth
it
to
hir
repayre
,
&
in
the
meane
tyme
,
they
escape
with
the
rest
,
and
bring
them
to
their
shippes
.
Camels

are
dryuen
to

toward
the
East

doe

.
Wilde
Dogs
haue
handes
&
féete
almost

In

there
are
maruellous
swift
beastes
,
which
haue
the
vpper
lippe
so
long
,
that
when
they
will
feede
they
go
backward
.
The

There
are
wilde
wolues
,
which
in

of
their

,
if
they
turne
once
about
,
forget
their

,
and
goe
againe
to

.
Among
the
Serpents
the
Bassalicke
doth
infecte
and
kill
people
with
his
looke
.
There
are
innumerable
kindes
of
others
,
whereof
some
haue
double
heades
at
both

for
to
cast

For

they

and
they
haue

clawes
for

,
in
the
day
they
remaine
on

earth
,
and
the
night
in
the
waters
,
when
they
open
their
throte
in
sléeping
,
there
are
little
birdes
called
Trochilos
that
will
picke
&
clense
their
teeth
,
in
the
which
thei
take
great
delight

The

And
manye
other
beastes
naturallye
knowe
the
hearbes
that
for

are
most
proper
.
The
Swallow
knoweth
howe
to

they

they
haue

and
as
feble

heades
as
the

therfore
they

their

with

,
when
they
fall
and
leape
from
the
Rocks
,
or
when
they
are
bayted
with
dogges
.
The
Dogs
among
all
other
beastes
that
vnto
vs
are
common
,
are
most
faythfull
.
We
haue
true
histories
of
men
that
haue
bene
defended
from
théeues
by
their
Dogges
,
others
haue
fought
to
reuenge
their
maysters
death
,
and
constrayned
the
murtherer
to
confesse
the
déede
.
Two
hundreth
Dogs
did
rescue
by
force
the
king
Garamantus
,
being
taken
by
the
handes
of
his
enimies
.
Many
people
haue
assembled
dogges
together
for
the
warre
.
We
reade
of
Dogges
that
haue
caste
them selues
into
the
fire
,
when
in
times
past
their
Maisters
body
haue
bene
burned
.
We
reade
also
of
a
Dog
of
Nicomedes
the
king
of
Bythinia
,
to
haue
almost
torne
the
Queene
in
pieces
,
for
that
she
played
familiarly
with
the
king
,
the
Dog
thinking
it
had
bene
for
harme
.
A
Senatour
of
Rome
,
was
defended
by
his
Dogge
on
a
night
,
retourning
to
hys
house
,
from
the
handes
of
those
,
that
would
haue
put
him
to
death
.
At
Rome
a
prisoners
Dogge
woulde
neuer
departe
from
the
Prison
doore
,
and
when
his
mayster
was
deade
,
he
would
eate
nothing
,
and
when
breade
was
giuen
hym
he
brought
it
to
his
maysters
month
.
The
same
Dog
was
séene
openly
to
holde
vp
his
maisters
bodye
being
caste
into
the
Ryuer
of
Tyber
.
They
know
their
mayster
,
and
vnderstande
his
voyce
,
aboue
all
other
beastes
they
do
best
know
a
mans
voyce
,
and
their
names
,
they
doe
remembre
the
wayes
and
iourneyes
be
they
neuer
so
farre
off
,
and
there
is
none
of
so
long
a
memorie
(
except
man
.
)
In
their
chase
they
haue
great
diligence
,
specially
houndes
.
In
India
they
tie
proud
Bytches
to
trées
,
and
the
Tygres
doe
couer
them
,
by
the
whiche
meanes
,
commeth
fierce
and
cruell
Dogges
.
The
king
of
Albania
did
giue
to
Alexander
the
great
,
a
Dogge
of
maruellous
highnesse
,
which
would
take
Lyons
and
Elephants
.
The

If

the

Horses
are
faithfull
,
and
ful
of
great
knowledge
,
for
they
knowe
their
maysters
,
&
they
that
attende
on

.
Many
are
singuler
in
their
doyngs
,
the
Males
line
till
fifty
yeares
,
and
the
females
lesse
,
at
sixe
yeres
the
males
grow
no
more
,
and
the
females
but
fiue
yeares
.
Among
the
beastes
they
haue
least
fertilitie
.
The
moste
eigrest
and
fiercest
Horses
,
put
their
nose
mussell
depest
in
the
water
to
drincke
,
and
haue
almost
as
many
diseases
as
men
.
Asses
there
hath
bene
bought
for
foure
hundreth
Crownes
.
In
Acaia
they
are
much
requested
to
haue
Mules
.
They
feare
colde
,
the
Males
are
very
slowe
in
their
worke
,
they
doe
beare
as
d●e
Mares
,
&
in
thirtie
monthes
the
yong
ones
are
ready
to
helpe
them selues
.
After
they
are
horsed
they
must
be
constrayned
to
runne
,
or
else
they
would
reiect
the
séede
by
making
water
.
The
females
beare
all
their
lyfe
,
whiche
is
thirty
yeares
,
they
be
afraied
to
wette
their
féete
,
and
they
neuer
drinke
but
in
small
and
shallowe
waters
,
where
they
are
accustomed
to
drinke
drye
footed
,
the
Females
doe
hyde
them selues
when
they
bring
forth
,
in
darke
places
,
that
they
be
not
seene
of
men
,
they
will
not
passe
the
bridges
when
the
Sunne
shineth
in
the
water
,
it
is
maruell
that
they
runne
not
mad
for
thirst
,
for
he
that
daylye
chaungeth
their

Ryuer

The
little
Mule
is
ingendred
of
the
Asse
and
of
the
Mare
.
The
Mules
that
commeth
of
a
Horse
and
of
a
shée
Asse
,
are
beastes
full
of
strength
and
labour
.
The
Asse
that
couereth
the
Mare
bringeth
forth
afore
hir
tyme
,
if
shee
before
haue
retayned
the
horse
,
but
not
else
,
the
seuenth
day
the
females
should
be
filled
,
after
their
foale
is
borne
,
the
Males
fatigated
of
labour
,
doth
soner
replen●she
the
Females
.
Some
of
them
are
not
lyke
to
their
Syres
,
and
the
Mule
of
hir
nature
is
barren
,
sauing
that
in
Capadocia
they
beare
,
by
force
of
drinking
wine
,
often
tymes
the
Mules
●asse
from
casting
or
stryking
.
The
Athenians
knowing
for
a
truth
a
Mule
to
haue
done
seruice
fourescore
yeares
,
did
ordayne
,
that
in
the
fi●ldes
none
should
desturbe
him
,
neyther
in
the
corne
nor
otherwyse
.
The
Oxen
liue
twenty
yeares
,
and
the
Kine
commonlye
fiftene
yeares
,
at
fiue
yeares
they
haue
taken
their
strength
:
it
is
sayde
that
to
washe
them
with
warme
water
they
will
fatten
,
the
strength
of
the
Bull
is
at
three
yeres
:
for
to
make
them
drawe
,
it
is
good
to
yoke
them
with
a
drawing
Oxe
,
for
he
will
teach
the
other
.
In
tymes
past
among
the
Romaines
,
it
was
estemed
as
greate
offence
to
kill
an
oxe
,
or
to
steale
one
,
(
bycause
of
their
ploughes
,
)
as
it
was
to
kill
a
man
.
The
Bull
requyring
combat
,
sheweth
magnanimitie
of
courage
&
gentilitie
,
he
turneth
the
heade
,
lifteth
vp
the
eares
,
remayneth
on
his
foreféete
,
and
maketh
the
dust
to
flie
with
his
hinder
féete
.
At
Rome
hath
bene
seene
an
Oxe
speake
.
The
Oxe
of
Egipt
hath
a
kyrnell
called
Apis
vnder
his
tongue
,
and
a
white
spotte
on
the
right
syde
,
whiche
groweth
as
the
hornes
of
the
Moone
.
The
nature
of
shepe
is
that
they
liue
not
aboue
nyne
or
ten
yeares
,
the
Males
couple
with
the
Females
in
the
middest
of
May
,
till
the
middest
of
August
,
the
females
beare
a
hundreth
and
fiftye
dayes
.
The
Ram
if
the
right
genetorie
be
bound
,
maketh
all
Females
,
and
if
the
left
be
bound
in
the
sa●son
,
maketh
all
Males
.
If
ye
looke
vnder
the
Tuppe
or
Rammes
tongue
,
he
doth
ingender
Lambes
of
the
colour
that
the
vaynes
are
,
if
they
be
of
dyuers
colours
,
he
ingendreth
Lambes
of
dyuers
sortes
.
Also
the
mutation
of
waters
,
doeth
varefie
the
colour
of
Lambes
,
also
the
windes
.
It
is
estemed
not
good
to
cut
or
gueld
Lambes
before
fiue
monthes
,
and
commonly
the
Females
bring
forth
not
aboue
foure
Lambes
.
Goates
conceyue
commonly
two
Kiddes
,
&
sometyme
foure
,
they
beare
fiue
monthes
as
do
shéepe
,
they
become
barren
with
fatnesse
,
and
they
ingender
not
before
the
fourth
yeare
,
they
conceiue
in
Nouember
,
for
to
be
deliuered
in
March
,
when
the
trées
beginne
to
budde
:
the
Goate
feareth
cold
,
euery
one
of
these
beasts
haue
not
hornes
,
but
the
milke
of
those
that
haue
no
hornes
,
is
fatter
than
those
that
haue
,
and
those
that
haue
hornes
,
their
age
is
knowen
by
the
knots
in
their
hornes
,
they
asspyre
through
the
eares
,
&
not
by
their
nose
,
and
they
are
neuer
without
Feuers
or
Agues
,
bycause
of
the
heate
of
their
bodies
,
which
maketh
them
much
subiect
to
lechery
,
they
sée
aswell
by
night
as
by
daye
,
they
haue
all
beardes
on
their
chinne
,
if
one
of
them
be
taken
or
dryuen
,
al
the
rest
will
maruel
therat
,
if
they
croppe
or
bite
a
yong
trée
,
it
dyeth
,
and
if
they
licke
an
Oliue
tree
,
it
will
drye
away
.
Among
the
swyne
the
Sowe
doth
farrow
two
tymes
a
yeare
,
and
somtime
they
haue
twentie
Pigges
,
but
they
cannot
nouryshe
so
many
:
the
tenth
day
the
Pigges
haue
téeth
:
in
once
knowing
the
Boare
they
are
filled
,
but
they
double
it
for
feare
not
to
haue
retayned
.
Some
thinke
that
if
they
léese
an
eye
that
they
will
soone
die
,
otherwise
they
liue
til
fiftene
or
twenty
yeres
,
the
most
fattest
haue
least
milke
,
they
willinglye
wallow
in
the
durt
and
myre
,
and
couch
most
on
the
left
side
,
they
fat●en
in
six
dayes
,
they
know
their
Maysters
house
,
and
defende
one
an

for
if
that
one
cry
,
all
the
rest
will
runne

.
Among
the
wilde
boares
,
the
Male
hath
great
payne
to
acquaint
him
with
the
Female
,
and
shée
hath
great
dolor
to
make
hir
yong
ones
:
they
are
borne
with
téeth
,
and
are
blacke
.
In
Arabia
they
can
not
liue
neither
wild
,
nor
yet
tame
.
Apes
doe
approch
muche
to
the
sense
of
man
,
and
their
kynde
is
,
to
haue
no
tayles
,
these
kinde
of
beastes
,
are
muche
affectioned
to
their
yong
ones
,
they
kepe
them
or
holde
them
alwayes
betwene
their
armes
or
legs
,
before
their
breastes
,
whereby
manye
times
they
kill
them
:
they
haue
beard
on
their
●hinne
,
and
some
in
Ethiopia
haue
tayles
,
that
can
liue
no
where
el●e
.
Of
Hares
,
there
are
dyuers
kindes
in
the
hye
Mountaynes
,
there
are
white
ones
,
&
in
winter
they
liue
with
snowe
.
It
is
sayde
that
a
Hare
is
as
olde
as
there
are
pourgings
or
voydings
in
hir
belly
,
they
haue
both
kindes
,
and
ingender
one
with
an
other
,
and
the
Hare
alone
is
meate
vnto
men
,
beastes
,
and
foules
,
and
therfore
he
is
euer
in
feare
,
&
goeth
more
by
nyght
than
by
day
.
Conyes
are
of
another
kinde
,
the
Males
haue
great
desire
to
●ate
the
yong
ones
when
they
are
born
,
but
the
female
hydeth
them
,
and
they
make
great
multiplication
.
Many
sortes
of
beastes
there
are
on
the
earth
,
that
doe
mingle
one
kynde
with
an
other
.
Among
the
Beastes
,
Origes
haue
the
haire
long
alwayes
,
tending
towardes
the
heade
,
and
of
other
beastes
the
haire
tendeth
towards
the
tayle
.
Mice
are
ingendred
on
the
earth
.
We
reade
that
when
Haniball
had
besieged
a
towne
,
a
Mouse
was
solde
for
two
hundreth
crownes
,
the
seller
dyed
for
famine
,
and
the
buyer
did
escape
the
hunger
.
The
olde
Mice
are
nourished
of
the
yong
ones
,
by
great
clemency
.
In
Affrica
there
is
neyther
Déere
,
wylde
Boares
,
Goates
,
nor
Beares
.
In
other
places
neyther
Wolues
,
nor
Fo●es
.
In
some
places
there
are
no
Hares
,
in
other
places
no
Conyes
.
And
in
other
places
there
is
great
diuersitie
of
beastes
,
that
are
not
in
other
places
.
The
Scorpions
or
Serpentes
do
sooner
hurte
strangers
,
than
the
Countrey
inhabitantes
.
The
ninth
booke
treateth
of
water
beastes
,
and
of
fishes
.
IN
the
sea
there
are
many
greate
beastes
,
aswell
as
on
earth
for
the
moisture
therof
,
and
bycause
it
is
more
larger
and
bygger
.
Also
there
is
manye
monsters
&
diuersitie
in
many
fishes
,
for
they
couple
in
many
kindes
,
and
there
is
the
similitude
of
all
kinde
of
beastes
on
the
earth
,
and
rather
more
.
Whales
are
the
moste
greatest
and
grossest
beastes
in
the
Sea
,
there
are
of
two
hundreth
yeards
long
.
In
many
places
ther
are
rib
bones
of
Whales
of
twentye
yeardes
.
Alexander
the
great
was
afrayed
to
méete
them
,
least
his
Nauy
shoulde
haue
perished
.
In
the
Sea
there
are
Eeles
thrée
hundreth
foote
long
.
In
the
night
there
commeth
many
fishes
out
of
the
Sea
,
that
will
eate
the
corne
in
the
fieldes
,
and
after
returne
againe
.
There
is
in
the
Sea
Meermaydes
that
haue
bene
sene
,
and
some
that
haue
the
shape
of
men
,
and
their
voyce
like
vnto
mens
voice
,
hauing
the
body
of
mans
shape
,
and
the
lower
parts
scaled
like
fishes
,
with
a
tayle
.
And
there
are
Woulfes
,
Horsses
,
Asses
,
Hogges
and
other
sea
beastes
,
as
on
the
earth
.
If
the
fishes
asspire
and
respire
as
other
beastes
,
there
are
dyuers
opinions
.
Plinie
doth
beleue
that
the
most
part
sléepeth
and
respireth
,
except
those
that
haue
no
liuer
,
and
in
stede
of
bloud
haue
humor
.
The
Dolphin
is
the
most
swiftest
fish
in
the
Sea
,
and
most
hardest
to
be
taken
:
euery
one
foloweth
his
like
,
they
haue
yong
in
ten
monthes
in
Sommer
,
and
nourishe
them
as
doe
the
Whales
,
the
olde
ones
carry
the
yong
ones
,
and
there
is
alwayes
a
greate
Dolphin
,
that
followeth
the
little
one
,
they
haue
the
tongue
mo●ing
lyke
a
Hog
.
Aboue
the
nature
of
other
fishes
,
they
loue
yong
children
,
and
the
sounde
of
Instruments
,
they
liue
thrée
hundreth
yeares
,
and
they
haue
their
greatnesse
at
ten
yeares
,
they
reioyce
when
one
calleth
them
Symon
,
&
they
loue
humaine
voyce
.
Manye
examples
are
both
séene
and
reade
of
little
children
,
that
they
haue
caryed
by
Sea
on
their
backes
&
brought
backe
againe
without
doing
them
any
harme
.
Shell
fishes
are
so
great
in
some
places
,
that
with
their
shels
they
couer
their
houses
.
The
beastes
of
the
Sea
haue
dyuers
clothings
,
some
are
couered
with
leather
,
and
with
haire
,
as
the
Sea
calfe
,
some
onely
with
leather
as
the
Dolphins
,
others
with
great
thicke
and
harde
shelles
,
others
softer
shelles
,
as
Oysters
,
Cockles
,
and
Mus●les
,
that
haue
no
heades
,
others
with
sharpe
prickles
,
as
the
Ecchinus
called
the
sea
Porcupen
,
others
with
scales
,
as
Carpes
and
many
other
fishe
,
others
with
rough
skinnes
with
the
whiche
they
shaue
fine
wood
and
Iuory
,
some
with
soft
skins
,
and
others
that
haue
none
.
The
Sea
calfe
whiche
is
clothed
with
skinne
and
haire
,
they
ioyne
Male
and
Female
together
as
dogges
,
and
they
neuer
haue
but
two
at
a
burthen
,
they
nourishe
their
yong
ones
with
theyr
pappes
or
tettes
,
and
are
deliuered
on
the
land
,
and
within
twelue
dayes
after
they
bring
them
to
the
Sea
.
The
Sea
calfe
,
is
more
grieued
and
more
constrayned
to
sléepe
than
any
other
beast
,
and
therefore
their
skinne
putte
on
a
mannes
heade
doth
prouoke
him
to
sléepe
.
Greate
is
the
diuersitie
of
beastes
,
in
some
there
is
neyther
bone
nor
thorne
,
and
of
many
kindes
there
is
no
Male.
Among
the
fishes
the
Females
are
greater
than
the
Males
,
there
are
some
that
haue
their
scales
tending
towards
their
heades
,
cleane
contrary
to
the
nature
of
others
.
Some
there
are
that
go
alwayes
to
sléepe
vpon
the
dry
lande
.
The
Whale
maketh
hir
yong
ones
aliue
without
Egges
.
Eeles
lyue
commonlye
eight
yeare
,
they
will
lyue
sixe
dayes
without
water
,
specially
when
the
wind
is
at
west
,
and
lesse
with
other
windes
.
In
Winter
they
couet
depe
and
cleare
waters
,
and
swimme
in
the
bottom
,
they
féede
in
the
night
,
&
they
of
all
other

,
flote
not
aboue
water
,
when
that
they
are
deade
.
In
the
Laake
of
Verone
they
are
taken
by
thousandes
.
Some
kinde
of
fishes
rendreth
their
yong
ones
aliue
,
others
that
flye
by
the
Sea
,
as
the
Sea
swallow
.
Some
make
egges
and
couer
or
sitte
on
them
,
as
doe
the
foules
in
the
ayre
,
so
doth
the
Sea
kite
,
a
foule
called
Lucerna
,
of
the
propertie
of
his

,
séeketh
the

whose

Some

haue
their

they
fight

they

but
no

for
that
is

They

in
Asia
at

,
and
he
that

is
killed

torne
in
pieces
,
and
then
thei
take
their
flight
,
the
Swannes
eate
Serpents
,
and
therefore
there
is
as
great
payne
to

as
to
kill
a

,
the
yong

do
nourishe

The
Quailes
come
by
night
,
and
in
daunger
of
mariners
when
they

.
In
tyme
of
rayne
,
or
of
a

,
they
neuer
passe
the

,
in

they
caste
their

,
so
doth
the
Turtle
.
Swalowes
liue
with
fleshe
,
they
are
so
swift
,
and
turne
so
sodainly
,
that
no
other
foules
can
get
them
for
to
féede

and
they
wil
feede

Swallowes
tary
but
halfe
a

some
chaunge
their

and
their

The

In

In

At

there
entreth

And
so
it
is
,
that
in
manye
places
there
is
great
diuersi●e
of
birdes
.
A
long
the
Sea
coastes
in
some
place
there
are
birdes
that
liue
with
fishe
,
and
euery
one
of
them
make●h
seuen
Nestes
,
and
in
euery
nest
yong
ones
,
but
their
nestes
are
so
hard
,
that
they
can
scarce
be
broken
,
and
there
is
no
way
into
the
nestes
but
one
little
hole
for
the
Dame
to
come
in
and
out
,
and
their
nestes
are
of
thornes
,
that
are
ranged
one
against
another
,
with
earth
and
feathers
,
and
they
are
seldome
sene
.
There
are
Swallowes
of
dyuers
kindes
,
there
are
some
called
Marlions
that
make
their
neastes
sixe
foote
in
the
grounde
.
Birdes
haue
maruellous
great
industrie
&
knoweledge
in
making
their
Neastes
,
with
feathers
,
earth
,
and
chaffe
,
haire
,
wool
,
mosse
,
and
suche
like
.
Also
they
carry
water
to
temper
it
,
and
to
fortifie
it
,
by
the
which
meanes
their
yong
ones
are
sure
and
safe
againste
the
rayne
,
the
dames
do
clense
and
make
cleane
the
nestes
from
ordure
,
when
their
little
ones
are
yong
,
and
when
they
become
great
,
they
force
them
to
come
forth
of
their
nestes
for
to
be
cleane
.
And
in
India
,
some
foules
séeke
Hares
skinnes
to
make
their
nestes
.
The
Partridge
so
maketh
hir
nest
,
that
the
wilde
beastes
can
not
finde
them
,
and
where
she
layeth
hir
Egges
shée
hatcheth
not
hir
yong
,
fearing
that
hir
oft
frequentation
should
be
knowen
.
The
Female
for
the
intemperancie
of
luste
of
the
Male
,
seketh
to
deceyue
him
,
bycause
if
she
be
vpon
the
nest
,
he
will
breake
hir
Egges
.
The
Males
do
fight
,
for
the
Females
.
At
the
cry
or
singing
of
the
Female
,
the
Male
runneth
so
blinded
,
that
he
will
somtimes
strike
against
the
foulers
heade
,
he
is
so
much
sub●ect
to
imbitilitie
,
more
than
any
other
birde
.
The
Female
when
she
heareth
any
approch
hir
yong
ones
,
she
faineth
to
haue
hir
winges
broken
,
that
shée
can
not
flye
,
and
cryeth
that
she
maye
be
hearde
,
for
to
retyre
the
people
and
Dogs
,
to
the
ende
they
finde
not
their
nestes
,
and
shée
flyeth
a
farre
of
from
hir
little
ones
,
and
they
liue
,
by
common
estimation
,
till
sixtene
yeares
.
The
Doues
are
chaste
and
leaue
not
their
dwelling
or
remayning
place
,
if
that
they
are
not
without
makes
,
they
doe
suspect
adulterie
:
by
this
meanes
they
quarrell
with
their
throte
,
and
sight
with
their
bill
,
then
they
flatter
with
their
fete
.
The
male
is
as
careful
toward
the
yong
ones
,
as
the
female
:
at
the
first
they
bring
their
yong
of
the
salte
of
the
earth
,
for
to
temper
their
●ppetite
,
and
they
conceyue
by
the
bil
.
The
Pigeons
and
Turtles
drinke
as
do
horses
,
without
often
pulling
their
bil
out
of
the
water
when
they
drinke
:
they
liue
aboute
eight
yeares
,
but
the
wilde
Doues
liue
thirtie
yeares
.
The
Sparrowe
liueth
not
aboue
a
yeare
,
and
the
female
liueth
somwhat
more
,
bicause
of
the
frequentation
that
the●
haue
together
.
Birdes
flye
in
dyuers
kinds
,
some
goe
,
some
leape
,
some
runne
,
and
some
caste
there
féete
forwarde
before
they
flye
,
as
Cranes
and
Storkes
,
and
there
are
none
but
Drakes
,
that
flye
bolt
vpwarde
at
the
first
leape
,
others
aduance
them
before
they
flye
.
Some
haue
no
féete
,
and
haue
no
rest
but
in
their
nest
.
Hennes
haue
vnderstanding
,
&
when
they
haue
layd
an
●gge
,
they
cackle
and
make
a
noyse
.
The
Cardnelis
doth
those
things
,
that
shée
●s
commaunded
.
The
Popingay
can
speake
humaine
speach
,
they
come
from
the
Indias
,
they
haue
their
heade
as
harde
as
their
bill
,
they
liue
most
commonly
with
Acornes
,
and
they
speake
best
that
haue
fiue
clawes
on
their
feete
,
thei
are
taught
secretly
where
as
there
is
no
other
noyses
but
the
teachers
.
Crowes
haue
bene
séene
speake
,
and
call
noble
men
by
their
names
,
specially
●e
at
Rome
,
which
by
that
meanes
was
solemnely
buried
.
It
is
easier
to
●ame
a
Lyon
,
an
Eliphant
,
or
any
other
great
beast
or
foule
,
than
to
tame
a
Mouse
or
a
swallow
.
Strabo
was
the
first
that
did
cage
birdes
,
which
before
had
liberty
in
the
Sky
:
he
taught
the
way
to
fatten
Capo●s
,
with
meale
and
milke
.
Among
the
birdes
many
haue
foure
féete
,
and
some
lay
many
egges
,
some
foure
,
and
some
two
.
They
ioyne
together
in
two
maners
,
the
Cranes
,
with
their
height
.
And
Hennes
and
other
Females
the
Cockes
tread
them
doowne
.
Some
egges
,
and
the
mo●e
part
are
white
,
others
coloured
,
and
others
redde
,
as
the
Egges
of
Fesantes
:
and
all
kinde
of
egges
within
are
of
two
colours
,
white
and
redde
.
Egges
of
fishes
are
rounde
,
and
they
haue
no
white
,
the
Egges
of
feathered
soules
liuing
on
the
water
are
round
,
&
of
others
long
:
the
yong
ones
come
out
of
the
shell
at
the
round
ende
.
Horace
sayth
that
the
longest
egges
haue
the
best
sauour
,
and
that
Henne
is
best
and
most
tenderest
,
that
layeth
round
egges
.
Some
birdes
ingender
at
all
tymes
,
as
Hennes
that
lay
euery
day
an
egge
,
some
two
at
a
tyme
,
&
some
so
many
that
therewith
they
dye
.
In
some
places

In
Egipt
the
Turtle
twyce
a

,
and
other
birdes
but
once
a
yeare
.
As
touching
egges
there
is
a
red
droppe
in
the
middest
of
the
yolke
,
the
whiche
maketh
the
birdes
harte
,
and
it
is
the
first
formed
,
and
of
the
whyte
is
formed
the
body
,
&
within
the
egge
the
heade
is
greater
than
the
body
,
and
liueth
with
the
surplus
of
the
yolke
:
the
twentye
day
he
hath
lyfe
and
cryeth
within
the
Egge
,
and
then
the
feathers
begin
to
come
.
The
yong
one
in
the
egge
lyeth
after
this
sort
,
it
hath
the
heade
vnder
the
ryght
foote
,
and
the
right
wing
vpon
the
head
;
and
they
growe
on
their

,
contrary
to
the
nature
of
other
beastes
.
Ye
ought
not
to
giue
a

xxv
.
egges
to
coue
on
,
and
those
Chickens
that
are
hatched
about
the
beginning
of
the
yeare
,
are
the
best
.
For
to
sette
Hennes
to
broode
,
take
egges
of
tenne
dayes
olde
,
for
they
are
better
,
than
older
,
or
more
fresher
,
and
ye
ought
to
put
odde
:
when
the
Henne
hath
co●ed
foure
dayes
,
in
looking
on
them
in
the
Sunne
,
ye
shall
knowe
whether
they
be
good
or
no
,
or
in
putting
them
in
warme
water
,
for
the
good
egges
will
sinke
to
the
bottome
,
and
those
that
are
pu●rified
and
naught
,
will
flotte
and
swimme
.
If
the
egges
are
neuer
so
little
craysed
that
are
sette
,
they
wil
neuer
proue
.
It
is
best
to
set
Hennes
to
coue
in
the
newe
Moone
,
for
if
they
are
sette
in
the
wane
of
the
Moo●e
,
or
at
the
ful
,
they
wil
profite
little
.
When
the
weather
is
hote
,
chickens
will
come
within
one
and
twenty
dayes
,
and
if
it
be
cold
,
not
til
fiue
&
twenty
dayes
.
If
it
thunder
the
egges
that
are
coued
will
be
lost
,
and
also
at
the
voyce
of
the
Kyte
or
Puttocke
.
The
remedy
against
the
thunder
,
is
to
put
a
na●e
in
the
Hennes
nest
,
or
else
of
the
earth
of
a
Carte
whéele
.
It
hath
bene
recited
of
a
Cocke
,
whiche
atfer
the
Hennes
death
hath
atchieued
couing
,
&
by
thys
meanes
to

The

maruelleth
at

calleth
them

,
and
lamenteth
if
shée
sée
them
drowned
in
the
water
,
and
some
there
are
that
can
make
Chickens
come
in
warme
water
,
as
well
as
if
the
Egge
were
coued
.
The
pip
commeth
lyghtly
vnto
pullaine
,
betwene
haruest
&
the
vintage
:
for
a
remedy
therfore
,
it
is
good
to
let
them
hunger
,
&
to
giue
them
little
meate
,
or
to
giue
them
to
eat
Garlike

The

In

Men
are
more
proner

Beastes

Among
the
foure
footed
beastes
,
their
smelling
bringeth
the
operation
of
lecherie
.
The
greater
the
beasts
are
,
the
fewer
yong
they
bring
forth
,
and
the
longer
they
beare
them
.
All
beastes
are
replenished
with
the
Male
at
one
tyme
though
they
bring
neuer
so
manye
,
and
the
yong
ones
lye
in
the
Females
belly
,
the
ioyntes
or
knées
against
the
belly
.
But
a
yong
Childe
in
the
mothers
Wombe
hath
his
face
betwéene
his
knées
,
and
is
like
a
Citie
.
●attes
and
Myce
do
ingender
by
licking
one
another
,
and
it
hath
bene
sene
that
one

made
sixe
score
,
so
it
commeth
to
passe
that
by
this

there
are
so
many
both
in
the
fieldes
,
and
in
mens
houses
.
The
Salmander
in

doth
quench
it
as
if

and
notwithstanding
that
shée
casteth
by

,
which
is
like

,
if
it

any
part
of
a

,
the
haire
of
his

will
fall
away
,
they
growe
as
the
Eele
in

,
and
among
them
there
is
neyther
Male
nor
Female

and
they
neuer
conceyue
nor
make

nor

the

both

,
and

Some
fishes
get
their
pray
with
their
téeth
,
others
with
their
féete
,
and
others
with
sucking
&
licking
according
to
their
nature
.
Some
liue
by
sucking
of
venime
,
as
Serpentes
,
and
Spyders
,
that
haue
neyther
bloud
,
nor
heate
,
nor
sweate
,
&
to
them
nedeth
no
meates
.
Wolues
do
often
tymes
liue
with
earth
.
Beastes
do
fatten
with
drinking
,
and
therfore
salte
for
them
is
necessary
.
Those
beastes
that
haue
their
téeth
close
,
doe
lape
as
Dogs
in
their
drinking
,
and
they
that
holde
their

together
do
sowpe

as
doe
Oxen
and
Horses
.
The
Beare
in

séemeth
to

.
In
Affrica
wild
beasts
drinke
not
in
the
Sommer
for
default
of
water
,
&
there
are
certaine
beastes
that
neuer
drinke
,
and
yet
they
haue
alwayes
thirst
within

.
There
is
that
haue
a
bladder
full
of
lyquor
,
in
drinking
thereof
one

endure

without

All
beastes
hauing

will
sléepe
,
both
on
the
earth
and
in
the

.
A

NAture
hath
made

,
and
hath
giuen
more
sense
and
understanding
to
little
beastes
,
worthy
of
more
greater
memorie
than
the
great
.
They
haue
no
bloude
,
but
in
stéede
of
bloude
haue
humid●ie
and
moysture
in
the

,
which
maketh
them
giue
both
sounde
and
voyce
,
to
asspire
and

,
they
haue
neyther
heart
nor
lyuer
,
but
onelye
certaine
bowels
,
and
haue
eyes
and
other
sentementes
and
féelings
,
their

moueth
not
without

,
vnlesse
it
be
pulled

Among
the
which
,
the
good
flyes
or
hony
Bées
haue
sense
,
and
labour
for
the
publicke
profite
,
they
haue
among
them
Princes
,
&
conductours
of
their
councell
,
and
maner
howe
to
behaue
them selues
in
their
frequentations
.
In
the
Winter
they
are
hidden
,
for
that
they
can
not
resist
the
Snowes
,
Windes
,
and
Frostes
,
they
make
hony
and
ware
,
when
they
goe
to
their
worke
they
neuer
léese
no
tyme
.
First
they
wype
or
rubbe
their
Hyue
wyth
things
that
are
bytter
,
as
the
Gumme
of
trées
,
and
other
things
for
to
take
the
taste
from
other
beastes
of
the
swéetnesse
of
their
hony
:
afterwarde
they
make
their
chambers
or
dwellings
,
then
they
make
their
yong
ones
without
corruption
,
and
after
that
they
make
their
hony
and
wa●e
,
of
floures
,
&
prouide
foode
for
winter
,
otherwise
bitter
meate
full
of
humor
seperated
from
hony
.
On
nights
in
their
voyage
,
when
they
are
from
their
wonted
place
to
rest
,
they
lye
their
belly
vpwarde
,
to
kepe
their
winges
from
the
dewe
.
The
maner
of
their
workes
is
to
remaine
some
of
them
at
the
gate
or
doore
of
their
Hyue
there
to
kepe
watch
,
as
the
custome
is
of
a
Castle
:
in
the
night
they
rest
till
the
morning
,
except
those
that
are
appointed
to
watche
,
of
the
which
one
of
them
in
the
morning
goeth
aboute
making
a
sounde
or
noyse
,
as
it
were
a
Trumpet
,
and
then
euery
one
departeth
and
flyeth
away
,
if
the
day
be
faire
,
otherwise
they
continue
in
their
house
,
&
they
know
the
disposition
of
tymes
,
the
yong
ones
goe
or
flye
abrode
into
the
fieldes
,
and
the
old
ones
remayne
to
make
the
worke
,
or
to
deuide
the
rowmes
within
.
Some
bring
the
flowers
to
the
entrie
of
their
place
,
others
do
discharge
it
,
&
caryeth
it
in
,
others
bring
water
in
their
throte
for
to
temper
or
giue
moysture
to
their
workes
,
and
they
deuide
their
offices
.
Some
do
garnish
,
some
pollishe
,
some
sucke
,
and
others
make
ready
foode
of
that
which
is
brought
in
,
for
they
liue
together
and
doe
not
seperate
,
to
the
ende
,
that
equally
their
foode
be
deuided
:
they
make
double
alleyes
or
pathes
,
some
to
come
in
at
,
&
some
to
goe
forth
by
:
the
most
hony
is
in
the
highest
rowme
.
If
there
chaunce
to
ryse
a
great
winde
whylest
they
are
in
the
fieldes
,
then
they
flie
close
to
the
ground
along
the
hedges
,
and
they
take
a
litle
stone
or
earth
to
be
more
waightier
,
to
the
ende
the
winde
beare
them
not
away
,
and
lode
their
floures
in
their
fore
féete
,
against
their
breastes
.
Those
that
are
appointed
maysters
or
ouerseers
of
their
house
,
will
chastice
those
that
are
negligent
and
slowe
.
They
neuer
file
nor
make
filth
in
their
Hiue
they
are
so
cleane
.
In
the
night
their
watch
being
set
,
they
retyre
into
their
lodging
,
and
make
a
murmuring
or
noyse
,
still
deminishing
till
that
one
maketh
the
last
sounde
or
Trumpet
,
flying
in
the
midst
of
them
,
and
then
they
ceasse
oft
al
til
the
morning
.
First
they
make
their
common
houses
,
and
then
the
house
of
their
king
or
Capitaine
whome
they
doe
elect
and
choose
.
Among
these
good
flyes
,
there
are
others
more
greater
without
sting
,
whiche
serue
at
the
workes
,
&
to
chafe
or
warme
the
yong
ones
betwene
their
féete
,
and
they
are
straightly
corrected
,
and
if
they
fayle
,
without
any
remission
.
These
make
their
king
a
fayre
house
,
pinacled
lyke
a
Castle
,
seperated
from
other
houses
.
The
lodgings
of
the
common
sort
,
haue
sixe
rowmes
or
corners
for
the
worke
of
their
sixe
féete
,
and
they
make
them
in
close
,
darke
,
or
raynye
dayes
,
and
at
suche
tymes
they
fill
the
vpper
Celles
with
hony
,
and
in
a
fayre
&
cléere
day
they
goe
to
the
fieldes
.
The
maner
how
the
yong
ones
are
borne
,
there
is
greate
defficultie
,
for
thei
neuer
couer
one
another
.
There
was
a
Romaine
that
made
a
hiue
of
cléere
lanterne
hornes
for
to
sée
their
workes
,
and
it
séemeth
that
they
make
little
wormes
,
that
become
flyes
,
and
before
that
they
haue
feathers
,
there
is
nothing
that
the
dame
desireth
more
to
eat
,
when
their
heades
are
pulled
of
.
Their
king
is
chosen
in
euery
swarme
or
company
,
&
they
choose
hym
that
is
greatest
:
he
is
knowen
for
he
hath
a
spot
in
the
foreheade
.
If
he
go
or
flye
to
the
fieldes
,
the
others
follow
him
as
his
gard
,
and
he
goeth
not
out
of
the
Hyue
vnlesse
that
al
the
rest
do
followe
.
If
he
haue
a
wing
broken
or
perished
,
he
goeth
not
oute
of
the
Hyue
,
he
onely
taketh
no
paynes
,
but
admonisheth
them
of
their
worke
.
If
by
aduyse
of
councel
he
commeth
forth
,
euery
one
putteth
their
payne
to
serue
him
,
and
wil
carry
him
if
he
be
weary
.
If
he
haue
a
sting
,
yet
he
vseth
it
not
.
When
they
intend
to
depart
&
leaue
the
hiue
,
certaine
dayes
before
,
they
murmure
and
make
a
noyse
,
and
flye
their
way
by
tempests
.
Often
tymes
they
be
at
strife
for
their
bondes
&
floures
,
or
if
one
Hyue
haue
no
foode
,
they
wil
spoile
another
,
and
their
king
doth
defende
them
.
If
there
want
vittayles
,
they
kill
or
driue
away
those
flyes
that
haue
no
sting
.
If
their
sting
be
once
broken
,
they
are
tamed
or
faint
hearted
,
as
a
gelded
body
,
and
can
profite
no
more
,
such
haue
places
a
part
for
to
retyre
them
.
They
hate
shéepe
,
for
they
can
scarce
get
out
of
their
wooll
.
Also
they
hate
Crabbes
or
Creuices
,
and
if
there
be
any
sodden
nere
to
their
place
,
the
smell
of
them
will
make
them
dye
.
They
haue
many
diseases
,
and
if
any
of
them
dye
,
they
bring
him
oute
of
their
rowmes
,
&
cast
him
out
of
their
Hyue
as
making
of
funerals
.
If
their
King
dye
,
they
doe
more
,
for
then
they
make
such
dolor
and
sorrow
,
that
they
do
nothing
.
By
this
and
by
to
muche
taking
off
of
their
hony
,
they
die
often
tymes
.
They
haue
sense
and
understanding
to
heare
,
and
doe
reioyce
,
and
at
the
sound
of
a
Basan
they
wil
assemble
.
When
their
worke
is
finished
they
flie
abrode
,
then
retourne
to
their
hyue
or
house
.
Their
age
is
seuen
yeares
,
they
neuer
touch
any
Carion
,
as
Crowes
,
Kytes
,
and
other
flyes
doe
.
Their
hony
commeth
as
it
were
a
sweate
from
heauen
,
spittle
from
the
starres
,
or
lyquor
from
the
ayre
,
when
in
the
spring
tyme
the
sayd
moysture
falleth
on
the
leaues
and
the
Dew
,
and
the
Bées
receyueth
it
,
and
caryeth
it
into
their
byue
.
The
hony
at
the
first
is
as
cleare
as
water
,
it
boyleth
lyke
newe
wine
,
and
purgeth
,
the
twentie
day
it
fatteneth
,
then
it
hardneth
,
and
casteth
a
little
skin
like
a
scumme
,
there
is
wayes
how
to
get
the
hony
,
for
want
of
foode
causeth
the
Bées
to
disperse
and
flye
their
wayes
,
or
die
,
and
to
great
abundance
maketh
them
vnprofitable
,
for
they
labour
no
more
than
is
necessary
or
nedeful
,
and
therefore
the
twelueth
parte
is
their
porcion
that
they
ought
to
leaue
them
.
Of
hony
is
made
many
medicinable
thinges
,
seruing
to
eche
one
.
Some
leaue
the
tenth
parte
,
and
if
it
be
not
ful
but
almost
empty
,
ye
ought
not
to
touche
it
.
That
hony
that
cleaueth
together
or
thréedeth
,
is
not
good
,
but
when
incontinently
it
breaketh
in
taking
of
it
,
it
is
a
good
signe
.
Also
the
good
smelling
hony
that
hath
a
colour
lyke
golde
,
and
swéete
in
the
tast
,
is
a
signe
of
goodnesse
.
The

not

They

Scorpions
towards

are
very

&
they

They

Locusts

The
Parthians
doe

them

Also
Ants
make
egges
,
of
the
which
growe
their
yong

:
and
as
the
good
flyes
doe
congregate
their
workes
,
so
they
hide
their
foode
in
the
earth
,
for
to
liue
with
in

They

it
séemeth
that
in

Among

The

that
the

can
not

therfore
the

It

The

On
this

it
is
mingled
with
a
kinde
of
Rosen
whiche
is
like
,
but
the
difference
is
knowen
by
the
colour
,
by
the

by

Frankencense
will

Also

The

When

IN

many
pleasant

of
the
which
nowe
there

for
euery

The
Wyne
groweth
of
wylde
plants

and
among
all
other
plantes
it
is
the
principallest
fruite
,
and
there
are
manye
kyndes
,
and
euery
yeare
it
must
be
cut
,
or
else
otherwyse
it
would
compasse
a

Wyne
is
the
bloude
of
the
earth
,
it
being
taken
within
a
mans
bodye
is
hote

and
without
it

colde
,
it
is
both
comfortable

profitable
to

if
it
be
taken
measurably

otherwise
it
is
very
hurtfull

Alexander
the

did
van●uishe
the
whole
worlde
,
and
yet
could
not
so
wel
kepe
him selfe
,
but
was
ouercome
with
the
force
of
wine
.
Wines
is
not
permitted
to
the

of
Rome

We
reade
that
King
Romulus
did
pardon
and
forgiue
a
Senatour
of
Rome
called
Ignatius
Mecenius
whiche
had
killed
his
wife
with
a
Clubbe
,
for
that
shée
was
founde
drinking
Wyne
out
of
a
tunne
.
And
therfore
Cato
did
ordaine
that
women
and
maydens
shoulde
be
kyssed
of
their
parents
and
kinsfolke
,
to
the
ende
they
shoulde
knowe
whether
they
did
smel

no.
Marcus
Varo
wryteth
of
a
Consull
which
neuer
made

,
nor
had
at
his
Table
more

at

,
for
feare
of
to

.
In

at

the

was
set

wine
,
to
the
ende
that
little

since
Cesar
made
great
banquettes
,
whiche
gaue
occasion
to
make
prouision
at

for
all
kinde
of
Wynes
.
Wyne

There

THe

tree
groweth
not
neare
the

,
nor
in
places
to
hote
nor
to
colde
:
they
must
be
cut
lyke
Uines
.
The
Oliue
oyle
is
of
a
better
sauour
when
the
Oliues
begin
to
rype
,
but
there
is
not
so
much
when
they
beginne
to
be
blacke
,
but
that
is
the
tyme
to
take
them
,
and
of
their
rypenesse
.
There
is
more
payne
to
make
Oyle
than
wine
.
The
Oliue
hath
stone
,
oyle
,
and
flesh
,
the
grene
are
bytter
,
by
drying
they
become
lesse
thoughe
that
the

.
The
lyquor
of
the
Oliue
is
the
Oyle
,
but
is
lasteth
not
as
doth
Wyne
,
for
it
is
best
the
firste
yeare
.
Some
there
are
that
tarry
till
the
Oliues
fall
from

,
for
it
hurteth
the

agayne
the

to

broken

.
Olyues
before

Apples
and
Peares
ought
to

and
for
them
the
north
winde
is
good
,
and
no

when

,
they
should
be
put

seperated

they

Nuttes
make

and
in

of

the

dried

Acornes
be

The

If

Taxus
is

In
Arcadia
it

so
venemous
that
no

The
Cuppes
that

It

sayde
that
the

An

he
that

Other

that

and
the

thereof
commeth
,
for
that
