And in September, ... falcons, astors astors, merlins, sparrow-hawks; Decoy-birds that ... lure your game in flocks; And hounds with bells; crossbows shooting out of sight; Arblasts and javelins; ... ... all birds the best to fly; And each to each of you shall be lavish still In gifts; and robbery find no gainsaying; And if you meet with travellers going by, Their purses from your purse's flow shall fill; And Avarice be the only outcast thing.
