The kingly Lion, and the strong arm'd Bear, The large limb'd Mooses, with the tripping Deer; Quill-darting Porcupines, and Raccoons be Castel'd in the hollow of an aged tree; The skipping Squirrel, Rabbet, purblind Hare, Immured in the self same castle are, Lest red-ey'd Ferret, wily Foxes should Them undermine, if rampir'd but with mould; The grim-fac'd Ounce, and rav'nous howling Wolf, Whose meagre paunch sucks like a swallowing gulf; Black glistering Otters, and rich coated Bever, The Civet scented Musquash smelling ever.

Two men going a fowling, appointed at evening to meet at a certain pond side, to share equally, and to return home; one of these gunners having killed a Seal or Sea-calf, brought it to the pond where he was to meet his comrade, afterwards returning to the sea-side for more game, and having loaded himself with more Geese and Ducks he repaired to the pond, where he saw a great Bear feeding on his seal, which caused him to throw down his load, and give the Bear a salute; which though it was but with goose-shot, yet tumbled him over and over; whereupon the man supposing him to be in a manner dead, ran and beat him with the handle of his gun. The Bear perceiving him to be such a coward to strike him when he was down, scrambled up, standing at defiance with him, scratching his legs, tearing his cloaths and face, who stood it out till his six foot gun was broken in the middle; then being deprived of his weapon, he ran up to the shoulders into the pond, where he remained till the Bear was gone, and his mate come in, who accompanied him home.
