The sailor fondly loves his ship, The gallant loves his lass; The toper drains with fever’d lip, His deep, full-bottom’d glass. Away! such hollow joys I scorn, But give to me, I pray, The cry of the hounds, the sounding horn, For’ard! hark, hark away! And this our burial chant shall be, For the chestnut mare shall die with me! APPENDIX. A.—_Page_ 10. STRUTT, quoting from the book of St. Alban’s the sort of birds assigned to the different ranks of persons, places them in the following order:— The eagle, the vulture, and the melona for an emperor. The ger-falcon and the tercel of the ger-falcon for a king. The falcon gentle and the tercel gentle for a prince. The falcon of the rock for a duke. The falcon peregrine for an earl. The bastard for a baron. The sacre and the sacret for a knight. The lanere and the laneret for an esquire. The marlyon for a lady. The hobby for a young man. The gos-hawk for a yeoman. The tercel for a poor man. The sparrow-hawk for a priest. The musket for a holy-water clerk. The kesterel for a knave or a servant. Of some of the later and milder measures taken to protect the hawk, it may be remarked that the 5th of Elizabeth, c. 21, enacts that if any person shall unlawfully take any hawks, or their eggs, out of the woods or ground of any person, and be thereof convicted at the assizes or sessions on indictment, bill or information at the suit of the king, or of the party, he shall be imprisoned three months, and pay treble damages, and after the expiration of three months shall find sureties for his good abearing for seven years, or remain in prison till he doth, § 3. The last statute concerning _falconry_ (except a clause in 7 Jac. c. 11, which limits the time of hawking at pheasants and partridges) is that of the 23rd Eliz. c. 10, which enacts that if any manner of person shall hawk in another man’s corn after it is eared, and before it is shocked, and be therefore convicted at the assizes, sessions, or leet, he shall pay 40_s._ to the owner, and if not paid within ten days he shall be imprisoned for a month.
