===Of the Woulfe===

The Woulfe is called ''Lupus'' saith ''Isidore'', as if you would say ''Leopos'', footed like the [[lion|Lyon]]. It is a most ravinous kinde of Beast, terrible, and astonyshing a man at his first sight: whereof arose the old Proverbe, ''Lupus in fabula''. Signifying, that there it was best to stay, and to have no more such talke of him as was talked of before. ''[[Aristotle]]'' sait, that in time of conjunaion they be most fierce, alwaies wood so long as they have yong. And the same Author also saith, that when they are hunted and put to flight, they cary their yong with them, & in their journeying they take eate of ''[[oregano|Origan]]'', to sharpe their teeth, which are in a maner like to outr Saw. They being in extreme hunger (rather than they should famish) feede hartily upon yearth and suche like grosse matter. ''[[Ovid]]'' recordeth of a pleasure done or of well deserving in this kind to two brethren, ''Romulus'' & ''Remus'', whom ''Amulius'' their Grandfather fought to have destroyed. And ths he sheweth the same.

''Venit ad expositos (mirum) Lupa faeta gamellos, quis credat pueris non nocuisse seram.''

A Woulfe with belly big with yong to two twinnes abject came who in the world would not have thought that these should have had harme.

Likewise a he ''Woulfe'' of wonderfull crueltie is reported at the beheading of EdmondKing of England to have taken away from the company of the head, and to have preserved it long time without hurt or blemish.
