There is also a little contemptible winged creature, an inhabitant of my aerial element, namely, the laborious bee, of whose prudence, policy, and regular government of their own commonwealth, I might say much, as also of their several kinds, and how useful their honey and wax is both for meat and medicines to mankind; but I will leave them to their sweet labour, without the least disturbance, believing them to be all very busy at this very time amongst the herbs and flowers that we see nature puts forth this May morning.
And [n]ow to return to my hawks, from whom I have made too long a digression; you are to note, that they are usually distinguished into two kinds; namely, the long-winged, and the short-winged hawk: of the first kind, there be chiefly in use amongst us in this nation,

The gerfalcon and jerkin,
The falcon and tassel-gentel,
The laner and laneret,
The bockerel and bockeret,
The saker and sacaret,
The merlin and jack merlin,
The hobby and jack;

There is the stelletto of Spain,
The blood-red rook from Turkey,
The waskite from Virginia;

And there is of short-winged hawks,
The eagle and iron,
The goshawk and tarcel,
The sparhawk and musket,
The French pye of two sorts;

These are reckoned hawks of note and worth, but we have also of an inferiour rank,

The stanyel, the ringtail,
The raven, the buzzard,
The forked kite, the bald buzzard,
The hen-driver, and others that I forbear to name.
