of_o those_o vapour_n and_o defluxion_n which_o the_o say_a beast_n leave_v behind_o they_o in_o the_o wood_n as_o they_o pass_v but_o in_o the_o spring_n time_n these_o be_v confound_v or_o utter_o

which_o be_v the_o reason_n man_n say_v that_o upon_o the_o mountain_n aetna_n in_o sicily_n there_o be_v never_o any_o hunt_n with_o hound_n for_o that_o all_o the_o year_n long_o there_o be_v such_o

what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v at_o the_o full_a it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o hound_n to_o meet_v with_o wild_a beast_n by_o the_o trace_n or_o send_v of_o the_o foot_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n before_o allege_v for_o that_o about_o the_o full_a moon_n there_o be_v engender_v store_n of_o dew_n whereupon_o it_o be_v that_o the_o poet_n aleman_n

the_o cause_n that_o in_o a_o white_a or_o hoary_a frost_n wild_a beast_n be_v hardly_o trace_v whither_o be_v it_o for_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a for_o very_o cold_a to_o range_v far_o from_o their_o den_n leave_v not_o many_o mark_n of_o their_o footing_n upon_o the_o ground_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o at_o other_o time_n they_o make_v spare_v of_o that_o prey_n which_o be_v near_o unto_o they_o for_o fear_n of_o danger_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o range_v far_o abroad_o in_o winter_n and_o because_o they_o will_v have_v ready_a at_o hand_n about_o they_o at_o

yet_o sleep_v as_o ariston_n say_v like_v unto_o a_o false_a bailie_n or_o publican_n take_v the_o half_a thereof_o for_o itself_o true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v lie_v awake_a and_o not_o
