How finely they do feed till they be fat,

And then what a sweet meate a cunny is!

And what smooth skins they have, both black and gray! 10

They say they run more in the night then day:

What is the reason? marke; why, in the light

They see more passengers then in the night;

For harmfull men many a haye[1820] do set,

And laugh to see them tumble in the net; 15

And they put ferrets in the holes,—fie, fie!—

And they go up and downe where conniees lye;
