may_v assure_o find_v he_o there_o till_o the_o evening_n unless_o roust_v by_o some_o affrightment_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o hunt_v he_o when_o you_o approach_v somewhat_o near_o send_v out_o your_o finder_n and_o when_o they_o have_v hunt_v about_o a_o ring_n or_o two_o cast_v in_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o hound_n and_o cheer_v they_o with_o your_o horn_n and_o voice_n when_o they_o be_v at_o full_a cry_n on_o the_o main_a chase_n and_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o the_o stag_n that_o you_o may_v know_v he_o if_o your_o dog_n shall_v follow_v a_o wrong_a game_n that_o you_o may_v call_v they_o off_o and_o set_v they_o back_o to_o their_o default_n make_v they_o cast_v about_o again_o till_o the_o first_o game_n be_v again_o undertake_v and_o then_o cheer_v they_o as_o before_o and_o have_v a_o watchful_a eye_n he_o beat_v not_o up_o another_o stag_n for_o the_o stag_n hunt_v be_v emboss_a and_o weary_a will_n if_o he_o can_v beat_v up_o another_o and_z lie_v down_o skulk_v close_o in_o his_o place_n you_o may_v perceive_v when_o he_o be_v weary_a by_o his_o slaver_a and_o froth_v of_o his_o mouth_n much_o sweat_n shine_v and_o blackness_n of_o his_o hair_n and_o often_o

more_o easy_a to_o be_v take_v than_o the_o former_a and_o if_o you_o can_v hunt_v the_o stag_n well_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n with_o less_o trouble_n this_o may_v be_v run_v down_o but_o what_o be_v

especial_o of_o the_o large_a and_o best_a hare_n there_o be_v another_o rule_n to_o be_v take_v in_o find_v the_o hare_n and_o that_o be_v to_o repair_v to_o her_o former_a seat_n and_o observe_v
