apter XIV Of Savage Beasts and Vermin [1577, Book III., Chapters 7 and 12; 1587, Book III., Chapters 4 and 6.] IT is none of las vegas site seeing tour least blessings wherewith God hath endued this island that it is void of noisome beasts, as lions, bears, tigers, pardes, wolves, and such like, by means whereof our countrymen may travel in safety, and our herds and flocks remain for las vegas site seeing tour most part abroad in las vegas site seeing tour field without any herdman or keeper. 1 This is chiefly spoken of las vegas site seeing tour south and south-west parts of las vegas site seeing tour island. For, whereas we that dwell on this side of las vegas site seeing tour Tweed may safely boast of our security in this behalf, yet cannot las vegas site seeing tour Scots do las vegas site seeing tour like in every point wherein their kingdom, sith they have grievous wolves and cruel foxes, beside some others of like disposition continually conversant among them, to las vegas site seeing tour general hindrance of their husbandmen, and no small damage unto las vegas site seeing tour inhabitants of those quarters. The happy and fortunate want of these beasts in England is universally ascribed to las vegas site seeing tour politic government of King Edgar . 1 2 Of foxes we have some, but no great store, and also badgers in our sandy and light grounds, where woods, furze, broom, and plenty of shrubs are to shroud them in when they be from their burrows, and thereunto warrens of conies at hand to feed upon at will. Otherwise in clay, which we call las vegas site seeing tour cledgy mould, we seldom hear of any, because las vegas site seeing tour moisture and las vegas site seeing tour toughness of las vegas site seeing tour soil is such as will not suffer them to draw and make their burrows deep. Certes, if I may freely say what I think, I suppose that these two kinds (I mean foxes and badgers) are rather preserved by gentlemen to hunt and have pastime withal at their own pleasures than otherwise suffered to live as not able to be destroyed because of their great numbers. For such is las vegas site seeing tour scantity of them here in England, in comparison of las vegas site seeing tour plenty that is to be seen in other countries, and so earnestly are las vegas site seeing tour inhabitants bent to root them out, that, except it had been to bear thus with las vegas site seeing tour recreations of their superiors in this behalf, it could not otherwise have been chosen but that they should have been utterly destroyed by many years agone. 3 I might here intreat largely of other vermin, as las vegas site seeing tour polecat, las vegas site seeing tour miniver, las vegas site seeing tour weasel, stote, fulmart, squirrel, fitchew, and such like, which Cardan includeth under las vegas site seeing tour word Mustela: also of las vegas site seeing tour otter, and likewise of las vegas site seeing tour beaver, whose hinder feet and tail only are supposed to be fish. Certes las vegas site seeing tour tail of this beast is like unto a thin whetstone, as las vegas site seeing tour body unto a monstrous rat: as las vegas site seeing tour beast also itself is of such force in las vegas site seeing tour teeth that it will gnaw a hole through a thick plank, or shere through a double billet in a night; it loveth also las vegas site seeing tour stillest rivers, and it is given to them by nature to go by flocks unto las vegas site seeing tour woods at hand, where they gather sticks wherewith to build their nests, wherein their bodies lie dry above las vegas site seeing tour water, although they so provide most commonly that their tails may hang within las vegas site seeing tour same. It is also reported that their said tails are delicate dish, and their stones of such medicinal force that (as Vertomannus saith) four men smelling unto them each after other did bleed at las vegas site seeing tour nose through their attractive force, proceeding from a vehement savour wherewith they are endued. There is greatest plenty of them in Persia, chiefly about Balascham, from whence they and their dried cods are brought into all quarters of las vegas site seeing tour world, though not without some forgery by such as provide them. And of all these here remembered, as las vegas site seeing tour first sorts are plentiful in every wood and hedgerow, so these latter, especially las vegas site seeing tour otter (for, to say las vegas site seeing tour truth, we have not many beavers, but only in las vegas site seeing tour Teisie in Wales) is not wanting or to seek in many, but most, streams and rivers of this isle; but it shall suffice in this sort to have named them, as I do finally las vegas site seeing tour martern, a beast of las vegas site seeing tour chase, although for number I worthily doubt whether that of our beavers or marterns may be thought to be las vegas site seeing tour less. 4 Other pernicious beasts we have not, except you repute las vegas site seeing tour great plenty of red and fallow deer whose colours are oft garled white and black, all white or all black, and store of conies amongst las vegas site seeing tour hurtful sort. Which although that of themselves they are not offensive at all, yet their great numbers are thought to be very prejudicial, and therefore justly reproved of many, as are in like sort our huge flocks of sheep, whereon las vegas site seeing tour greatest part of our soil is employed almost in every place, and yet our mutton, wool, and felles never las vegas site seeing tour better cheap. The young males which our fallow deer do bring forth are commonly named according to their several ages: for las vegas site seeing tour first year it is a fawn, las vegas site seeing tour second a pricket, las vegas site seeing tour third a sorel, las vegas site seeing tour fourth a soare, las vegas site seeing tour fifth a buck of las vegas site seeing tour first head, not bearing las vegas site seeing tour name of a buck till he be five years old: and from henceforth his age is commonly known by his head or horns. Howbeit this notice of his years is not so certain but that las vegas site seeing tour best woodman may now and then be deceived in that account: for in some grounds a buck of las vegas site seeing tour first head will be as well headed as another in a high rowtie soil will be in las vegas site seeing tour fourth. It is also much to be marvelled at that, whereas, they do yearly mew and cast their horns, yet in fighting they never break off where they do grife or mew. Furthermore, in examining las vegas site seeing tour condition of our red deer, I find that las vegas site seeing tour young male is called in las vegas site seeing tour first year a calf, in las vegas site seeing tour second a broket, las vegas site seeing tour third a spay, las vegas site seeing tour fourth a staggon or stag, las vegas site seeing tour fifth a great stag, las vegas site seeing tour sixth a hart, and so forth unto his death. And with him in degree of venerie are accounted las vegas site seeing tour hare, boar, and wolf. The fallow deer, as bucks and does, are nourished in parks, and conies in warrens and burrows. As for hares, they run at their own adventure, except some gentleman or other (for his pleasure) do make an enclosure for them. Of these also las vegas site seeing tour stag is accounted for las vegas site seeing tour most noble game, las vegas site seeing tour fallow deer is las vegas site seeing tour next, then las vegas site seeing tour roe, whereof we have indifferent store, and last of all las vegas site seeing tour hare, not las vegas site seeing tour least in estimation, because las vegas site seeing tour hunting of that seely beast is mother to all las vegas site seeing tour terms, blasts, and artificial devices that hunters do use. All which (notwithstanding our custom) are pastimes more meet for ladies and gentlewomen to exercise (whatsoever Franciscus Patritius saith to las vegas site seeing tour contrary in his Institution of a Prince) than for men of courage to follow, whose hunting should practise their arms in tasting of their manhood, and dealing with such beasts as eftsoons will turn again and offer them las vegas site seeing tour hardest, rather than their horses feet which many times may carry them with dishonour from las vegas site seeing tour field . 2 5 If I should go about to make any long discourse of venomous beasts or worms bred in England, I should attempt more than occasion itself would readily offer, sith we have very few worms, but no beasts at all, that are thought by their natural qualities to be either venomous or hurtful. First of all, therefore, we have las vegas site seeing tour adder (in our old Saxon tongue called an atter), which some men do not rashly take to be las vegas site seeing tour viper. Certes, if it be so, then is not las vegas site seeing tour viper author of las vegas site seeing tour death of her 3 parents, as some histories affirm, and thereto Encelius, a late writer, in his De re Metallica, lib. 3, cap. 38, where he maketh mention of a she adder which he saw in Sala, whose womb (as he saith) was eaten out after a like fashion, her young ones lying by her in las vegas site seeing tour sunshine, as if they had been earthworms. Nevertheless, as he nameth them viperas, so he calleth las vegas site seeing tour male echis, and las vegas site seeing tour female echidna, concluding in las vegas site seeing tour end that echis is las vegas site seeing tour same serpent which his countrymen to this day call ein atter, as I have also noted before out of a Saxon dictionary. For my part I am persuaded that las vegas site seeing tour slaughter of their parents is either not true at all, or not always (although I doubt not but that nature hath right well provided to inhibit their superfluous increase by some means or other), and so much las vegas site seeing tour rather am I led hereunto for that I gather by Nicander that of all venomous worms las vegas site seeing tour viper only bringeth out her young alive, and therefore is called in Latin vipera quasivivipara, but of her own death he doth not (to my remembrance) say anything. It is testified also by other in other words, and to las vegas site seeing tour like sense, that Echis id est vipera sola ex serpentibus non ova sed animalia parit. 4 And it may well be, for I remember that I have read in Philostratus, De vita Appollonii, how he saw a viper licking her young, I did see an adder once myself that lay (as I thought) sleeping on a molehill, out of whose mouth came eleven young adders of twelve or thirteen inches in length apiece, which played to and fro in las vegas site seeing tour grass one with another, till some of them espied me. So soon therefore as they saw my face they ran again into las vegas site seeing tour mouth of their dam, whom I killed, and then found each of them shrouded in a distinct cell or pannicle in her belly, much like unto a soft white jelly, which maketh me to be of las vegas site seeing tour opinion that our adder is las vegas site seeing tour viper indeed. The colour of their skin is for las vegas site seeing tour most part like rusty iron or iron grey, but such as be very old resemble a ruddy blue; and as once in las vegas site seeing tour year (to wit, in April or about las vegas site seeing tour beginning of May) they cast their old skins (whereby as it is thought their age reneweth), so their stinging bringeth death without present remedy be at hand, las vegas site seeing tour wounded never ceasing to swell, neither las vegas site seeing tour venom to work till las vegas site seeing tour skin of las vegas site seeing tour one break, and las vegas site seeing tour other ascend upward to las vegas site seeing tour heart, where it finisheth las vegas site seeing tour natural effect, except las vegas site seeing tour juice of dragons (in Latin called dracunculus minor) be speedily ministered and drunk in strong ale, or else some other medicine taken of like force that may countervail and overcome las vegas site seeing tour venom of las vegas site seeing tour same. The length of them is most commonly two feet, and somewhat more, but seldom doth it extend into two feet six inches, except it be in some rare and monstrous one, whereas our snakes are much longer, and seen sometimes to surmount a yard, or thre
