The _Fowler_, 1.
maketh a _Bed_, 2,
spreadeth
a _Bird-net_, 3.

_Auceps_, 1.
exstruit _Aream_, 2.

_Rete_ aucupatorium, 3.

and hiding himself in a _Hut_, 5.
he allureth Birds,
by the chirping of _Lurebirds_,
which partly
hop upon the Bed, 6.
and are partly shut in _Cages_, 7.
& abdens se in _Latibulo_, 5.
allicit Aves,
cantu _Illicum_,
qui partim
in Area currunt, 6.
partim inclusi sunt _Caveis_, 7.
and thus he entangleth
Birds that fly over,
in his net whilst
they settle themselves down.
atque ita obruit
transvolantes Aves
Reti, dum
se demittunt:
Or he setteth _Snares_, 8.
on which they hang and
strangle themselves:
Aut tendit _Tendiculas_, 8.
quibus suspendunt &
suffocant seipsas:
Or setteth _Lime-twigs_, 9.
on a _Perch_, 10.
Aut exponit _Viscatos calamos_, 9.
_Amiti_, 10.
upon which if they sit
they enwrap their Feathers,
so that they cannot fly away,
and fall down to the ground.
quibus si insident,
implicant pennas,
ut nequeant avolare,
& decidunt in terram.
Or he catcheth them
with a _Pole_, 11.
or a _Pit-fall_, 12.
Aut captat
_Perticâ_, 11.
vel _Decipulâ_, 12.
