Where so ever ye fare by fryth or by fell:
My dere chylde take hede how Trystam doo you tell.
How many manere bestys of venery there were:
Lysten to your dame and she shall you lere.
Four manere of bestis of venere there are:
The fyrste of theym is the harte: the seconde is the hare:
The boore is one of tho: the wulfe and not one mo.

— Juliana Berners Boke of Seynt Albans (1486)
