An hawke for a ẏong man

¶ Ther is an Hoby. And that hauke is for a yong man And theys be hawkes of the towre: and ben both Ilurid to be calde and reclaymed

¶ And ẏit ther be moo kẏndis of hawkes

¶ Ther is a Goshawke. and that hauke is for a yeman
¶ Ther is a Terceƚƚ. And that is for a powere man.
¶ Ther is a Spare hawke. and he is an hawke for a prest
¶ Ther is a Muskyte. And he is for an holiwater clerke
And theis be of an oder maner kynde. for thay flie to Querre and to fer Iutty and to Iutty fferry.
