The boost that the maẏster hunter makẏthe to his man now here foloẏng ẏe maẏ here.
The mayster to his man makyth his Roys
That he knowith be kynde what the hert doys
Att huntyng euermoore when he goys
Quod the man to his maister that were good loore
For to knaw what he doos the houndes befoore
What dooth he mayster quod the man
He dooth quod he eeuyn as thow mayst se
Brekyth. and so dooth no beest bot he
When brekyth he quod the man what is that to say
With his feete he opynys the erth ther he gooth a way
What is the cause quod the man maister I the pray
That the hert be foore the houndes when thay hym hunt ay
That then to the Ryuer he wellis for to goon
Quod the maister to the man ther ar causes toon
For .ii. cawses the hert desirith to the Rẏuer. & note wele theis termẏs foloẏng descende & oder
¶ Oon cause for the Ryuer descende he is ay
And so is he to the water when he takith the way
Why callist thow hym .descende. mayster I the pray
For he payris of is myght the sooth I the say
A nother is to the water whi he gooth other whyle
The howndes that hym sewen to founde to begyle
¶ Yit of this hert quod his man maister wolde I ken
In to the water when he leppys what he makes then
He proferith quod the mayster and so ye shaƚƚ say
For he wot not hym selfe yit how he wiƚƚ a way
Whether ouer the water he wiƚƚ for passe
Or turne ayen thessame way ther he fyrst was
Therfore hit is profre as theys hunteris sayne
And Reprofer iff thessame way he turne ayene
At that oder side of the water iff he vp sterte
Then shaƚƚ ye caƚƚ hit the .soule. of the hert
And that is for the water of his leggee weete
Downe in to the steppis ther fallyn of his fete
Ayen the water his way eeuen iff he hent
Then brekyth he water ther to take yow tent
And iff with the water go algate yow hit shaƚƚ
Defoulant the water an hert so hym caƚƚ
Now of the Nomblis merke wele the termẏs
¶ The man to his mayster spekyth fuƚƚ blyth
Off the nomblys of the hert that he wolde hym kith
How mony endys ther shaƚƚ be hem with inne
Quod the mayster bot oon thyk nor thynne
And that is bot the Gargilon to speke of aƚƚ bi dene
And aƚƚ theys oder .crokes and Roundulis. bene
