the Crowne and bare the Scepter of the Realme of England neuer knowing any man beside the kings person whē Henry Duke of Lancaster came to the castle of Flinte to take King Richarde The Dogge forsaking his former Lord master came to Duke Henry fawned vpon him with such resemblaunces of goodwyll and conceaued affection as he fauoured King Richarde before he followed the Duke and vtterly left the king So that by these manifest circumstances a man myght iudge this Dogge to haue bene lightened wyth the lampe of foreknowledge vnderstāding touchyng his olde masters miseryes to come and vnhappinesse nye at hand which King Richarde himselfe euidently perceaued accounting this deede of his Dogge a Prophecy of his ouerthrowe Of the Dogge called the Leuiner or Lyemmer in Latine Lorarius ANother sort of dogges be there in smelling singuler and in swiftnesse incomparable This is as it were a myddle kinde betwixt the Harier and the Grehounde as well for his kinde as for the frame of his body And it is called in latine Leuinarius a Leuitate of lyghtnesse and therefore may well be called a lyghthounde it is also called by this worde Lorarius a Loro wherwith it is led This Dogge for the excellency of his conditions namely smelling and swift running doth followe the game with more eagernes and taketh the pray with a iolly quicknes Of the Dogge called a Tumbler in Latine Vertagus THis sorte of Dogges which compasseth all by craftes fraudes subtelties and deceiptes we Englishe men call Tumblers because in hunting they turne and tumble winding their bodyes about in circle wise and then fearcely and violently venturing vpō the beast doth soddenly gripe it at the very entrance and mouth of their receptacles or closets before they can recouer meanes to saue and succour themselues This dogge vseth another craft and subteltie namely when he runneth into a warren or fetteth a course about a connyburrough he huntes not after them he frayes them not by barcking he makes no countenance or shadow of hatred against them but dissembling friendship and pretending fauour passeth by with silence and quietnesse marking and noting their holes diligently wherein I warrant you he will not be ouershot nor deceaued When he commeth to the place where Connyes be of a certaintie he cowcheth downe close with his belly the groūd Prouided alwayes by his skill and polisie that the the winde bée neuer with him but against him in such an enterprise And that the Connyes spie him not where he lurcketh By which meanes he obtaineth the sent and sauour of the Connyes carryed towardes him with the wind the ayre● either going to their holes or cōming out eyther passing this way or running that way and so prouideth by his circumspection that the selly simple Conny is debarred quite from his hole which is the hauen of their hope and the harbour of their health and fraudulently circumuented and taken before they can get the aduantage of their hole Thus hauing caught his pray he earryeth it s●●edily to his Master wayting his Dogges returne in some conuenient lurcking corner These Dogges are somewhat lesser then the houndes and they be lancker leaner beside that they be somwhat prick eared A man that shall marke the forme and fashion of their bodyes may well call them mungrell Grehoundes if they were somwhat bigger But notwithstanding they counteruaile not the Grehound in greatnes yet will he take in one dayes space as many Connyes as shall arise to as bigge a burthen and as heauy a loade as a horse can carry for deceipt and guile is the instrument wherby he maketh this spoyle which pernicious properties supply the places of more commendable qualities Of the Dogge called the theeuishe Dogge in Latine Canis furax THe like to that whom we haue rehearsed is the théeuishe Dogge which at the mandate and bydding of his master fléereth and leereth abroade in the night hunting Connyes by the ayre which is leuened with their sauour and conueyed to the sense of smelling by the meanes of the winde blowing towardes him During all which space of his hunting he will not barcke least he shoulde bee preiudiciall to his owne aduantage And thus watcheth and snatcheth vp in course as many Connyes as his Master will suffer him and beareth them to his Masters standing The farmers of the countrey and vplandishe dwellers call this kinde of Dogge a nyght curre because he hunteth in the darke But let thus much seeme sufficient for Dogges which serue the game and disport of hunting ¶ A Diall pertaining to the first Section Dogges seruing the pastime of hunting beastes are diuided into Hariers In Latine called Venatici Terrars In Latine called Venatici Bloudhounds In Latine called Venatici Gasehounds In Latine called Venatici Grehounds In Latine called Venatici Leuiners or Lyemmers In Latine called Venatici Tumblers In Latine called Venatici Stealers In Latine called Venatici The seconde Section of this discourse Of gentle Dogges seruing the hauke and first of the Spaniell called in Latine Hispaniolus SVch Dogges as serue for fowling I thinke conuenient and requisite to place in this seconde Section of this treatise These are also to bee reckoned and accounted in the number of the dogges which come of a gentle kind and of those which serue for fowling There be two sortes The first findeth game on the land The other findeth game on the water Such as delight on the land play their partes eyther by swiftnesse of foote or by often questing to search out and to spring the byrde for further hope of aduauntage or else by some secrete signe and priuy token bewray the place where they fall The first kinde of such serue The Hauke The seconde The net or traine The first kinde haue no peculier names assigned vnto them saue onely that they be denominated after the byrde which by naturall appointment he is alotted to take for the which consideration Some be called Dogges For the Falcon and such like The Phesant and such like The Partridge and such like The common sort of people call them by one generall word namely Spaniells As though these kinde of Dogges came originally and first of all out of Spaine The most part of their skynnes are white and if they be marcked with any spottes they are commonly red and somewhat great therewithall the heares not growing in such thicknesse but that the mixture of them maye easely bée perceaued Othersome of them be reddishe and blackishe but of that sorte there be but a very few There is also at this day among vs a newe kinde of dogge brought out of Fraunce for we Englishe men are maruailous gréedy gaping gluttons after nouelties and couetous coruorauntes of things that be seldom rare straunge and hard to get And they bee speckled all ouer with white and black which mingled colours incline to a marble blewe which bewtifyeth their skinnes and affoordeth a séemely show of comlynesse These are called French dogges as is aboue
