FOrhar.

The knight Folliculus was exceedingly
fond of his infant son, and also OF MS tai
con and mis- hound. IthaPpencd one DAY
that he went out to a tournament, to which,
without his knowledge, his wife and ser
wants too went afterwards, leaving the babe
in his cot, the greyhound lying in the
rusbes underneath it, and the falcon on his
perch above. A serpent that lived IN a
hole near the castle Of Folliculus, thinking
from the unusual silence that it must be
deserted, crept out of its retreat and enter
ed the hold, hoping to find some food.
Seeing the child, it would have devoured
him, had not the focon futtered its wings
until it awoke the dog, which, after des-
perate conflict, killed the willy intruder,
and then, almost fainting through loss OF
blood, lay down at the foot of the cradle,
that in the melee had been oyerthrown.
The knight, on his return home, seeing
thc4aws Of his greyhound red with gore,
and not being able at first, to find his child,
