carcase_n of_o many_o a_o small_a bird_n as_o lark_n and_o sparrow_n and_o sometime_o upon_o dove_n partridge_n quail_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o now_o your_o subject_n shall_v find_v i_o full_a of_o mercy_n for_o indeed_o i_o be_v then_o enforce_v to_o be_v cruel_a by_o necessity_n at_o these_o word_n the_o eagle_n take_v wing_n so_o take_v some_o few_o bird_n of_o note_n with_o he_o he_o fly_v away_o and_o when_o these_o bird_n have_v accompany_v he_o some_o part_n of_o the_o way_n he_o send_v they_o back_o again_o charge_v they_o to_o be_v careful_a to_o obey_v the_o hawk_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o fly_v on_o to_o the_o desert_n of_o arabia_n the_o moral_a the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v give_v to_o seek_v honour_n which_o he_o think_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reward_n for_o all_o his_o suffering_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o hawk_n who_o can_v endure_v to_o pluck_v off_o his_o own_o talent_n in_o hope_n to_o be_v make_v king_n chap._n vi_o how_o the_o hawk_n behave_v himself_o after_o the_o departure_n of_o the_o eagle_n and_o how_o he_o requite_v cawwood_n the_o rook_n for_o teach_v he_o to_o make_v away_o the_o buzzard_n as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n the_o eagle_n be_v go_v the_o hawk_n behave_v himself_o very_o love_o for_o the_o first_o week_n as_o nero_n the_o first_o five_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v count_v the_o best_a of_o king_n but_o afterward_o he_o prove_v the_o worst_a of_o tyrant_n so_o the_o hawk_n dissemble_v his_o nature_n for_o a_o week_n or_o fortnight_n but_o afterward_o he_o have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o shed_v blood_n and_o therefore_o he_o begin_v to_o think_v how_o he_o may_v put_v cawwood_n the_o rook_n to_o death_n and_o requite_v he_o for_o his_o former_a kindness_n in_o betray_v the_o buzzard_n and_o make_v he_o stand_v blind_a fold_v with_o a_o clout_n about_o his_o head_n till_o one_o come_v by_o and_o shoot_v he_o with_o a_o birding-piece_n now_o to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v he_o call_v many_o of_o the_o little_a bird_n together_o and_o tell_v they_o that_o what_o cruelty_n he_o have_v former_o commit_v be_v by_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o rook_n who_o make_v he_o believe_v that_o see_v nature_n have_v allot_v he_o no_o other_o food_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o prey_n upon_o all_o sort_n of_o bird_n and_o that_o now_o he_o be_v afraid_a lest_o he_o shall_v put_v into_o his_o mind_n the_o same_o bloody_a principle_n again_o and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v suspicion_n my_o love_a subject_n say_v he_o if_o any_o of_o you_o can_v accuse_v he_o of_o any_o heinous_a crime_n as_o i_o know_v he_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o i_o will_v grant_v you_o a_o day_n of_o hear_v against_o he_o that_o so_o if_o he_o can_v clear_v himself_o he_o may_v suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o desert_n no_o soon_o have_v the_o hawk_n speak_v these_o word_n but_o present_o they_o tell_v his_o majesty_n that_o they_o have_v every_o one_o cause_n to_o complain_v against_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o be_v once_o summon_v to_o the_o court_n they_o will_v be_v all_o ready_a to_o accuse_v he_o the_o moral_a they_o who_o employ_v other_o in_o wickedness_n never_o love_v they_o any_o long_o until_o their_o own_o purpose_n be_v effect_v as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o hawk_n who_o seek_v the_o life_n of_o the_o rook_n after_o he_o have_v use_v his_o invention_n to_o make_v away_o the_o buzzard_n so_o that_o he_o which_o further_v a_o man_n vice_n be_v belove_v while_o it_o be_v do_v but_o be_v hate_v when_o it_o be_v do_v chap._n vii_o how_o cawwood_n the_o rook_n be_v call_v to_o the_o court_n to_o answer_v for_o himself_o and_o how_o all_o the_o small_a bird_n bring_v in_o their_o accusation_n against_o he_o the_o hawk_n begin_v now_o to_o make_v know_v his_o bloody_a nature_n and_o therefore_o send_v corvino_n the_o crow_n to_o summon_v the_o rook_n to_o appear_v at_o the_o court_n of_o sylvia_n who_o according_o come_v at_o the_o day_n appoint_v not_o doubt_v to_o receive_v any_o injury_n from_o the_o hawk_n be_v always_o his_o friend_n and_o therefore_o not_o fear_v that_o now_o be_v make_v king_n he_o will_v use_v his_o power_n to_o his_o destruction_n but_o it_o prove_v far_o otherwise_o for_o no_o soon_o be_v cawwood_n come_v unto_o the_o hawk_n presence_n but_o the_o hawk_n command_v he_o to_o stand_v forth_o and_o answer_v to_o such_o matter_n as_o shall_v be_v lay_v against_o he_o for_o say_v he_o friend_n rook_n there_o be_v many_o complaint_n make_v against_o you_o and_o i_o must_v do_v justice_n as_o i_o promise_v the_o eagle_n at_o his_o departure_n when_o the_o rook_n hear_v this_o he_o begin_v to_o change_v colour_n and_o his_o feather_n begin_v to_o stand_v up_o on_o end_n what_o think_v he_o shall_v i_o be_v betray_v by_o a_o traitor_n yet_o at_o last_o see_v no_o remedy_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o stand_v to_o it_o while_o the_o bird_n gather_v round_o about_o he_o be_v all_o ready_a to_o complain_v against_o he_o and_o first_o rubert_n the_o robert_n begin_v his_o enditement_n the_o moral_a tyrant_n do_v always_o pretend_v a_o outward_a show_n of_o justice_n as_o may_v be_v see_v by_o the_o hawks_n speech_n to_o cawwood_n the_o rook_n who_o be_v afraid_a thereof_o do_v show_v that_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n be_v a_o thousand_o witness_n chap._n viii_o how_o rubert_n the_o robin_n complain_v against_o cawwood_n the_o rook_n i_o be_o glad_a that_o we_o small_a bird_n have_v now_o free_a liberty_n to_o show_v our_o wrong_n and_o grievance_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o cawwood_n the_o rook_n who_o upon_o a_o time_n bring_v i_o in_o danger_n of_o my_o life_n for_o one_o day_n as_o he_o and_o i_o be_v walk_v in_o a_o field_n by_o a_o hedge_n side_n we_o chance_v to_o come_v where_o there_o be_v a_o turf_n set_v up_o with_o two_o stick_n and_o a_o little_a hole_n dig_v underneath_o it_o i_o begin_v to_o ask_v he_o what_o it_o be_v o_o say_v he_o do_v you_o not_o know_v what_o this_o be_v than_o you_o have_v lose_v many_o a_o fair_a worm_n for_o it_o be_v never_o without_o one_o or_o two_o and_o therefore_o say_v he_o if_o you_o hop_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o you_o shall_v find_v my_o word_n true_a but_o quoth_v i_o be_v there_o no_o danger_n in_o it_o o_o no_o say_v he_o i_o will_v warrant_v you_o for_o danger_n whereupon_o i_o believe_v he_o leap_v upon_o the_o fork_a stick_n and_o no_o soon_o be_v i_o light_v thereon_o but_o present_o the_o turf_n fall_v upon_o my_o head_n so_o that_o i_o be_v make_v close_a prisoner_n in_o the_o pitfall_n and_o there_o i_o continue_v till_o at_o last_o a_o waggish_a boy_n who_o have_v make_v the_o pitfall_n come_v and_o take_v i_o out_o and_o with_o great_a joy_n carry_v i_o to_o his_o mother_n but_o she_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v ill_a luck_n to_o hurt_v a_o robin_n at_o last_o the_o boy_n be_v content_a only_o to_o cut_v of_o my_o tail_n and_o let_v i_o fly_v whereby_o i_o escape_v the_o danger_n that_o the_o rook_n have_v bring_v i_o into_o and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v that_o we_o may_v have_v justice_n on_o he_o the_o sparrow_n complaint_n with_o the_o same_o malicious_a mind_n though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n cawwood_n the_o rook_n bring_v i_o in_o danger_n and_o peril_n of_o my_o life_n for_o one_o frosty_a morning_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o limestrawe_n set_v on_o a_o dunghill_n cawwood_n the_o rook_n go_v among_o they_o and_o spy_v i_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o a_o barn_n call_v i_o down_o unto_o he_o and_o hide_v i_o come_v to_o he_o for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o wheat_n ear_n scatter_v on_o the_o ground_n whereupon_o i_o be_v somewhat_o hungry_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o can_v frosty_a weather_n come_v fly_v to_o he_o and_o no_o soon_o have_v i_o begin_v to_o peck_n on_o one_o of_o the_o ear_n but_o straight_o the_o end_n of_o one_o of_o the_o lime_a straw_n catch_v i_o by_o the_o back_n and_o another_o under_o the_o wing_n so_o that_o i_o have_v much_o a_o do_v to_o get_v from_o thence_o for_o when_o he_o that_o watch_v the_o straw_n see_v i_o lime_v and_o take_v he_o come_v run_v out_o to_o catch_v i_o but_o then_o with_o all_o the_o strength_n i_o have_v i_o make_v towards_o a_o hedge_n and_o have_v get_v into_o the_o bottom_n thereof_o escape_v the_o fowler_n hand_n thus_o i_o be_v betray_v by_o cawwood_n the_o rook_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o bird_n but_o have_v some_o accusation_n against_o he_o the_o complaint_n of_o the_o woodcock_n may_v it_o please_v you_o i_o be_v once_o come_v
