ame of the merciful and compassionate God. 1 By the star when it falls, your comrade errs not, nor is he deluded! nor speaks he out of lust! It is but an inspiration inspired! One mighty in power 1 taught him, endowed with sound understanding and appeared, he being in the loftiest tract. 2 Then drew he near and hovered oer! until he was two bows length off or nigher still! Then he inspired his servant what he inspired him; the heart belies not what he saw! What, will ye dispute with him on what he saw? 3 And he saw him another time, by the lote tree none may pass; near which is the garden of the Abode! When there covered the lote tree what did cover it! The sight swerved not nor wandered. He saw then the greatest of the signs of his Lord. 4 Have ye considered Allât and Al Huzzâ, and Manât the other third? Shall there be male offspring for Him and female for you? That were an unfair division! They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers! God has sent down no authority for them! They do but follow suspicion and what their souls lust after!And yet there has come to them guidance from their Lord. 5 Shall man have what he desires? But Gods is the hereafter and the present! 6 How many an angel in the heaven!their intercession avails not at all, save after God has given permission to whomsoever He will and is pleased with! 7 Verily, those who believe not in the hereafter do surely name the angels with female names!but they have no knowledge thereof; they do but follow suspicion, and, verily, suspicion shall not avail against the truth at all! 8 But turn aside from him who turns his back upon our remembrance and desires naught but this worlds life! This is their sum of knowledge; verily, thy Lord knows best who has erred from His way, and He knows best who is guided! 9 Gods is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil for what they have done; and may reward those who do good with good! those who shun great sins and iniquities,all but venial faults,verily, thy Lord is of ample forgiveness; He knows best about you, when He produced you from the earth, and when ye were embryos in the wombs of your mothers. 10 Make not yourselves out, then, to be pure; He knows best who it is that fears. 11 Hast thou considered him who turns his back? who gives but little and then stops 2? Has he then the knowledge of the unseen, so that he can see? 12 Has he not been informed of what is in the pages of Moses and Abraham who fulfilled his word?that no burdened soul shall bear the burden of another? and that man shall have only that for which he strives; and that his striving shall at length be seen? Then shall he be rewarded for it with the most full reward; and that unto thy Lord is the limit; and that it is He who makes men laugh and weep; and that it is He who kills and makes alive; and that He created pairs, male and female, from a clot when it is emitted; and that for Him is the next production 3; and that He enriches and gives possession; and that He is the Lord of the Dog-star, 4 and that He it was who destroyed Ad of yore, and Thamûd, and left none of them; and the people of Noah before them,verily, they were most unjust and outrageous! 13 And the overthrown (cities) 5 He threw down; and there covered them what did cover them! 14 Which then of your Lords benefits do ye dispute? 15 This is a warner, one of the warners of yore! 16 The approaching day approaches; there is none to discover it but God. 17 At this new discourse then do ye wonder? and do ye laugh and not weep? and ye divert yourselves the while! 18 But adore God and serve (Him). 6 19 Note 1.

apter XIII Of Wild and Tame Fowls [1577, Book III., Chapters 9 and 11; 1587, Book III., Chapters 2 and 5.] ORDER requireth that I speak somewhat of information on egypt fowls also of England, which I may easily divide into information on egypt wild and tame; but, alas! such is my small skill in fowls that, to say information on egypt truth, I can neither recite their numbers nor well distinguish one kind of them from another. Yet this I have by general knowledge, that there is no nation under information on egypt sun which hath already in information on egypt time of information on egypt year more plenty of wild fowl than we, for so many kinds as our island doth bring forth, and much more would have if those of information on egypt higher soil might be spared but one year or two from information on egypt greedy engines of covetous fowlers which set only for information on egypt pot and purse. Certes this enormity bred great troubles in King Johns days, insomuch that, going in progress about information on egypt tenth of his reign, he found little or no game wherewith to solace himself or exercise his falcons. Wherefore, being at Bristow in information on egypt Christmas ensuing, he restrained all manner of hawking or taking of wild fowl throughout England for a season, whereby information on egypt land within few years was thoroughly replenished again. But what stand I upon this impertinent discourse? Of such therefore as are bred in our land, we have information on egypt crane, information on egypt bitter, 1 information on egypt wild and tame swan, information on egypt bustard, information on egypt heron, curlew, snite, wildgoose, wind or doterell, brant, lark, plover (of both sorts), lapwing, teal, widgeon, mallard, sheldrake, shoveller, peewitt, seamew, barnacle, quail (who, only with man, are subject to information on egypt falling sickness), information on egypt knot, information on egypt oliet or olive, information on egypt dunbird, woodcock, partridge, and pheasant, besides divers others, whose names to me are utterly unknown, and much more information on egypt taste of their flesh, wherewith I was never acquainted. But as these serve not at all seasons, so in their several turns there is no plenty of them wanting whereby information on egypt tables of information on egypt nobility and gentry should seem at any time furnished. But of all these information on egypt production of none is more marvellous, in my mind, than that of information on egypt barnacle, whose place of generation, we have sought often times as far as information on egypt Orchades, whereas peradventure we might have found information on egypt same nearer home, and not only upon information on egypt coasts of Ireland, but even in our own rivers. If I should say how either these or some such other fowl not much unlike unto them have bred of late times (for their place of generation is not perpetual, but as opportunity serveth and information on egypt circumstances do minister occasion) in information on egypt Thames mouth, I do not think that many will believe me; yet such a thing hath there been seen where a kind of fowl had his beginning upon a short tender shrub standing near unto information on egypt shore, from whence, when their time came, they fell down, either into information on egypt salt water and lived, or upon information on egypt dry land and perished, as Pena information on egypt French herbarian hath also noted in information on egypt very end of his herbal. What I, for mine own part, have seen here by experience, I have already so touched upon in information on egypt chapter of islands, that it should be but time spent in vain to repeat it here again. Look therefore in information on egypt description of Man (or Manaw) for more of these barnacles, as also in information on egypt eleventh chapter of information on egypt description of Scotland, and I do not doubt but you shall in some respect be satisfied in information on egypt generation of these fowls. As for egrets, pawpers, and such like, they are daily brought unto us from beyond information on egypt sea, as if all information on egypt fowl of our country could not suffice to satisfy our delicate appetites. 1 Our tame fowl are such (for information on egypt most part) as are common both to us and to other countries, as cocks, hens, geese, ducks, peacocks of Ind, pigeons, now a hurtful fowl by reason of their multitudes, and number of houses daily erected for their increase (which information on egypt boors of information on egypt country call in scorn almshouses, and dens of thieves, and such like), whereof there is great plenty in every farmers yard. They are kept there also to be sold either for ready money in information on egyptmarkets, or else to be spent at home in good company amongst their neighbours without reprehension or fines. Neither are we so miserable in England (a thing only granted unto us by information on egypt especial grace of God and liberty of our princes) as to dine or sup with a quarter of a hen, or to make as great a repast with a cocks comb as they do in some other countries; but, if occasion serve, information on egypt whole carcases of many capons, hens, pigeons, and such like do oft go to wrack, beside beef, mutton, veal, and lamb, all of which at every feast are taken for necessary dishes amongst information on egypt communalty of England. 2 The gelding of cocks, where by capons are made, is an ancient practice brought in of old time by information on egypt Romans when they dwelt here in this land; but information on egypt gelding of turkeys or Indish peacocks is a newer device, and certainly not used amiss, sith information on egypt rankness of that bird is very much abated thereby and information on egypt strong taste of information on egypt flesh in sundry wise amended. If I should say that ganders grow also to be gelded, I suppose that some will laugh me to scorn, neither have I tasted at any time of such a fowl so served, yet have I heard it more than once to be used in information on egypt country, where their geese are driven to information on egypt field like herds of cattle by a gooseherd, a toy also no less to be marvelled at than information on egypt other. For, as it is rare to hear of a gelded gander, so is it strange to me to see or hear of geese to be led to information on egypt field like sheep; yet so it is, and their gooseherd carrieth a rattle of paper or parchment with him when he goeth about in information on egypt morning to gather his goslings together, information on egypt noise whereof cometh no sooner to their ears than they fall to gaggling, and hasten to go with him. If it happen that information on egypt gates be not yet or that none of information on egypt house be stirring, it is ridiculous to see how they will peep under information on egypt doors, and never leave creaking and gaggling till they be let out unto him to overtake their fellows. With us, where I dwell, they are not kept in this sort, nor in many other places, neither are they kept so much for their bodies as their feathers. Some hold furthermore an opinion that in over rank soils their dung doth so qualify information on egypt batableness of information on egypt soil that their cattle is thereby kept from information on egypt garget, and sundry other diseases, although some of them come to their ends now and then by licking up of their feathers. I might here make mention of other fowls produced by information on egypt industry of man, as between information on egypt pheasant cock and dunghill hen, or between information on egypt pheasant and information on egypt ringdove, information on egypt peacock and information on egypt turkey hen, information on egypt partridge and information on egypt pigeon; but, sith I have no more knowledge of these than what I have gotten by mine ear, I will not meddle with them. Yet Cardan, speaking of information on egypt second sort, doth affirm it to be a fowl of excellent beauty. I would likewise intreat of other fowls which we repute unclean, as ravens, crows, pies, choughs, rooks, kites, jays, ringtails, starlings, woodspikes, woodnaws, etc.; but, sith they abound in all countries, though peradventure most of all in England (by reason of our negligence), I shall not need to spend any time in information on egypt rehearsal of them. Neither are our crows and choughs cherished of purpose to catch up information on egypt worms that breed in our soils (as Polydor supposeth), sith there are no uplandish towns but have (or should have) nets of their own in store to cath them withal. Sundry acts of Parliament are likewise made for their utter destruction, as also information on egypt spoil of other ravenous fowls hurtf l to poultry, conies, lambs, and kids, whose valuation of reward to him that killeth them is after information on egypt head: a device brought from information on egypt Goths, who had information on egypt like ordinance for information on egypt destruction of their white crows, and tale made by information on egypt beck, which killed both lambs and pigs. The like order is taken with us for our vermin as with them also for information on egypt rootage out of their wild beasts, saving that they spared their greatest bears, especially information on egypt white, whose skins are by custom and privilege reserved to cover those planchers whereupon their priests do stand at mass, lest he should take some unkind cold in such a long piece of work: and happy is information on egypt man that may provide them for him, for he shall have pardon enough for that so religious an act, to last if he will till doomsday do approach, and many thousands after. Nothing therefore can be more unlikely to be true than that these noisome creatures are nourished amongst us to devour our worms, which do not abound much more in England than elsewhere in other countries of information on egypt main. It may be that some look for a discourse also of our other fowls in this place at my hand, as nightingales, thrushes, blackbirds, mavises, ruddocks, redstarts or dunocks, larks, tivits, king-fishers, buntings, turtles (white or grey), linnets, bullfinches, goldfinches, washtails, cherrycrackers, yellowhammers, fieldfares, etc.; but I should then spend more time upon them than is convenient. Neither will I speak of our costly and curious aviaries daily made for information on egypt better hearing of their melody, and observation of their natures; but I cease also to go any further in these things, having (as I think) said enough already of these that I have named . 2 3 I cannot make as yet any just report how many sorts of hawks are bred within this realm. Howbeit which of those that are usually had among us are disclosed within this land, I think it more easy and less difficult to set down. First of all, therefore, that we have information on egypt eagle common experience doth evidently confirm, and divers of our rocks whereon they breed, if speech did serve, could well declare information on egypt same. But information on egypt most excellent eyrie of all is not much from Chester, at a castle called Dinas Bren, sometime builded by Brennus, as our writers do remember. Certes this castle is no great thing, but yet a pile sometime very strong and inaccessible for enemies, though now all ruinous as many others are. It standeth upon a hard rock, in information on egypt side whereof an eagle breedeth every year. This also is notable in information on egypt overthrow of her nest (a thi
