A05138	Lathams new and second booke of falconrie concerning the training vp of all hawkes that were vnmentioned in his first booke of the haggart faulcon and gerfaulcon, formerly printed; teaching approued medicines for all their diseases. / By Symon Latham, Gent.; Lathams falconry. Book 2	Latham, Simon.	1618 (1618)	STC 15268.3; STC 15268_PARTIAL_FORMER; ESTC S108357	71,460	165

some need also to be better purged and clearely cleansed Likewise for the body inward passages although they were or are newly scowred yet neuerthelesse they may require some more labor therein and also to be throughly cooled Therefore as you shall see cause first in the head by snufling or sniting or any other signes vse the iuyce of Dasies or Sage to cause her throw it forth the sooner but if you perceiue the humour to continue neuerthelesse moist still then put to the iuyce a little of the powder of dust of Brimstone to drie it vp withall and she shall doe well Likewise for the body and inward places giue with her meate the distilled water of eyther Horehound or Woodbine or the water of Barley that I haue prescribed in my other booke and shee shall be well and her body moderately cooled and in good temper againe CHAP. XXXI Of the Eye THE Goshawke as you know is a fierce spirited fast flying Hawke if she haue naturally a true loue and liking to her prey and for that shee is most commonly vsed to flye through the hight of highest and thickest woods where the game that shee best loues most often vses and because the eye and onely ornament of her body is her chiefe guide in those places and is so deare and precious a Iewell vnto her it were great pitty that it should miscarry or bee blemisht by any misfortune Therefore fearing or misdoubting that any such euill accident should befall I will shew you a sure medicine to amend it withall CHAP. XXXII For the Eye that shall haue any hurt by accident or otherwise to grow vpon it TAke a thunderbolt the which is found most commonly in the fields in some channell or water-course by which means it is there laid open from the earth and is easily to be perceiued and put it into a hot fire and burne it well then when it is cold againe beat it to fine powder and searce or sift it through a faire linnen cloath then mingle it with sweet butter in differently and on any occasion put as much or the quantity of two little pins heads morning and euening into the Hawkes eye and if any thing whatsoeuer will doe it good this will not faile to doe the like Also you may at these times blow it into the eye with a straw and it is as good and will as speedily worke any thing forth or recouer any thing that is growing or amisse in that place CHAP. XXXIII Of the Hobby and the Marlion HOBBY MERLIN THere is yet this Cast of little Hawkes the which I haue not so much as once named the one is belonging to the young man the other pertaining to the Lady and in my opinion are most equally matcht one with the other in regard whereof it were great pitty they should bee parted euer but euen flye for the prey by turnes together not you know where I do not meane for then the young man perforce must mount alost indeed at which the Lady would be as lowly displeased to see her Marlion so put downe in the losty flight But what do I meane to skip so farre beyond my Art let mee curteously craue pardon and fauor to leaue the Lady and her Hawke together as birds with whom I neuer had nor haue no skill to deale at all and withdraw the young man and his Hobbie Into the Champian fields where he may be partaker of such sundry sorts of glee As tongue can no way well expresse or eye shall seldome see For there he may behold her first as she is wilde And see how she bestirs her the silly birds for to beguild And also attends the Falconer and his Spaniels as they range As if shee were mand before which is a thing most strange That such a bird that neuer was in hand Should wait so long and stop so oft Many a true labouring seruāt hath been cast off with a bunting that hath deserued a Larke for his reward and neuer goe to stand And furthermore neither to bee serued But so let goe without reward that hath so well deserued Yet neuerthelesse this louing Hawke will take no offence at all But on the morrow next will as ready be to come when hee shall call But to vncouple his Spaniels after his wonted guise To spring the fearefull Partridge that in the stubble lies Or else the mounting Larke which soone the Hobbie spies And beats from ground with all her might vp to the lofty skies Which then for to behold no mirth you may compare Vnto the Hobbie and the Larke thus striuing in the ayre Vntill the harmelesse bird being wearied with the flight Is forc't with clipped wings together to throw her selfe downe right Whereat the Hawke doth ioy and dallies by the way Yet long before they come to ground shee makes of her a prey For the Partridge the Haggart of this kinde is best and may most certainely be made a speciall Hawke for the same shee must bee taught and trained in each degree like vnto the Faulcon and must bee carefull not to flye her after eight a clocke in the morning especially if the Sunne breake out in any heate for if you doe she will fall to soring and be lost and must be sought vp againe where shee was first taken Also in the afternoone you may begin at two if the day be temperate and Hawke with her vntill it be neere the setting of the Sunne but if she be flone any longer she will likewise fall to dorring and be lost but otherwise with this obseruation and good order in her diet shee will shewe her selfe a Hawke to please a Prince for you may flye her twenty times in the afternoone when no other Hawkes will flye but must be waited on yet a little longer then may you put her to it as eyther to the Partridge the quaile the clot bird in the fallow fields which is a very fat and a dainty bird much like vnto the Martine the Warwinckle which is a pyed bird and vses most in pastur-pastur-ground or other champane places whereas growes great and tall bushes one some place or distance from the other whereas I haue seene an hundred stoopings vpon one of the same birds before it could be kild which is most excellent sport and full of delight for if the bushes stands not some reasonable distance apart the bird will be so terrified at the sight of the Hobbie as you may almost take it with your hand and when you thinke it meete in the end you may kill it with a stone bow and throw it to the Hawke Also for the Larke I am not able with my pen to expresse the delight and passing pleasure that is in that flight but indeede the Eyas is the very best for the mount for after she hath but wrought three or fowre seeled Larkes and preyed on them shee will neuer giue ouer but worke into the high ayre after the Larke so it be in

awhile then call your dogs vnto you and walke and stirre gently about her with some moderate rusling and busling in the bushes the better to acquaint her with the same noise then when you see it conuenient stoope to her on your knees and rending the chappes giue her bloud in the throate whereas it will issue plentifully to her great content then paring the hard braine-pan from the rest and couering the bodie with your hat Good obseruation for the yong mā giue her the head in her foot to eate on the ground and hauing your Spaniels close by you when shee hath done and beginneth to looke about her throw the Fesant euen as it it were in their very mouthes that she may together with some words of rebuke from your selfe make them giue way with feare vnto her yet drawing them into her sight againe to remaine so long as shee is on the ground and while you make her supper readie and when you see shee hath taken her sufficient pleasure exchange that artificially with her and let her eate it on the ground where the quarrie lay only reseruing some little thing to take her to your fist withall and then put on her hood not forgetting to bestow some reward on her afterward which shee will bee well pleased withall and take it for a kinde conclusion at your hand and will not be curious to shew it outwardly in her behauiour vnto you with feaking ietting rowsing and such like ioyous shewes and signes also of inward pleasure and contentment Many a man as soone as he hath taught his Hawke to draw and to come to his fist againe A great error or ouersight neuer thinkes or considers of any other point belonging but onely which is the next way to the wood whereas he hopes to finde his game and vnto that place he runnes or rides on headlong in hope of some good successe and when hee comes there he may no doubt haue such fortune as to find his flight with speed yet all this while he remembers not that hee hath a strange and vnacquainted Hawke or a company of vnruly Spaniels but he is certaine and knows right well that he hath good store and also so many as if there be but one Pesant in a reasonable Couart one or another of them will spring him or put him vp which is all he takes care for And when he hath so done and his Hawke hath flone the next course he takes is he sends his dogges before A great fault himselfe posting them forward with a lowde voyce and crying Goe ret goe to the Hawke goe as though they had as much wit as himselfe and could mannage all things so well as he and then Haue after he cryes to himselfe and away he followes as fast as hee can in hope to finde some comfort but when hee cometh neere to his Hawke as hee deemes he listeneth and looketh and findeth her sitting something low in a tree looking downeward and prying to the ground in mournefull wise as though she were much displeased at which sight withall he is something amazed and then beginneth to looke further about him and searcheth busily and narrowly vnderneath and round about her mistrusting that all things is not well at last he findeth a mention of ill fortune as feathers stumpes of wings legges or feete but the whole bodie that would haue caused him to trauell with a merrie heart homeward and also haue serued for a chiefe and choice dish at the table that is deuoured Why he sent his dogges before him then he beginneth to stamp and in an angrie mood to conceiue of his owne errour and that there hath beene a hot skirmish betweene the Hawke a poore Fesant and a confused company of vnmannerly tikes wishing in his heart that the third part of them were all hanged neuerthelesse there is some comfort for there sits the Hawke still as well as euer shee was shee hath by good fortune not lost one member shee was too wise and more affraid then hurt as it chanced shee thought it not fit to bide the brunt at such a battell nor neuer wil thereafter shee will hold it rather better for her the next time to bee gone as soone as shee heareth eyther dogge or what else soeuer but to rustle within a pole of her And after this maner there hath beene many an excellent Hawke and dogge quite spoiled for the Hawke will euer after out of her feare leaue her prey and the hungrie and rauenous dogge hauing tasted of the sweetnesse thereof will follow as fast and cunningly to haue it so that they are both spoiled and not one of them euer againe to bee reclaimed A halter is fittest for a theefe without a speedie course taken with a halter for the dogge for that is meetest for a theefe and such dogges be alwayes called robbers of Hawkes and therefore are fittest to bee hanged and for the Hawke although her warning hath been great and her feare to trust such enemies to come neere her any more yet neuerthelesse with good vsage shee may be taught and made to forget it And after that maner and fashion as hath bin heere formerly prescribed as A good obseruation with a iudiciall Keeper and discreete follower faire flying and two or three stanch and seruiceable Spaniels and yet to make it more plaine vnto you I say hee that doth haste on his dogges before himselfe after any yong or strange Hawke it is done rashly vnaduisedly and without any discretion or iudgement and hee taketh the cleane contrarie way for it is his part so soone as his Hawke is flone to follow her as secretly as he may without any noise also as fast as he can vntill he hath found her when as if shee hath killed it hee is there then close by her to guard and defend her and may call for his Spaniels and let them haue vnderstanding what is befallen The Spaniels must know what they hunt for that their desires may also be satisfied and they may come so neere vnto her as hee shall list himselfe and no nearer so that there shall be no offence at all committed but all parts well pleased on the contrary if shee haue missed her flight yet there he is readie to call his Spaniels and say in stead of Go ret Heere ret and although they haue all lost him in his race of running yet hauing their hearing and smelling sences they will quickely bee with him so that when they doe come and retetiue it hee is readie to rate them and gouerne all things to his owne liking likewise if it be put to pearch also there he is ready to rebuke the dogges at the fall so that these courses being well obserued and followed will make any Hawke of reasonable mettle excellent And when you haue made her neuer so good and perfect yet in slacking of these things shee will be as quickely marred There must be a
