Note 405 — CANES VENATICI. Class II.
William Dansey translation
A clever representation of a pack of small, long-eared, beagle terriers at their wonted sport of rabbit-catching is given by J. Stradanus, in his 38th plate, with an explanatory quatrain by K. Dufflæus:
Venationes Ferarum.
Callidus effossis latitare cuniculus antris Et generare solet. Verum persæpè catelli Anglorum celeres fallunt pecus: ore prehendunt Illusum: prædam venatorique ministrant.
