[766] Lynxes. "It is thought that of all beastes they seeme most
brightly, for the poets faine that their eie-sight pierceth through
every solid body, although it be as thicke as a wall.... Although they
be long afflicted with hunger, yet when they eate their meate, if
they heare any noise, or any other chaunce cause them to turne aboute
from their meate, oute of the sight of it, they forgette their prey,
notwithstanding their hunger, and go to seeke another booty."--Topsell,
489-492.
