When the season of the yere yeeldeth oportunity,
a great abundance of sundry sea-fowle breed upon the strond,
where they lay, & hatch their egges, without care of building
any nests: at which time, repairing thither, you shall see your head
shadowed with a cloud of old ones, through their diuersified cries,
witnessing their general dislike of your disturbance, [129] and your
feete pestered with a large number of yong ones, some formerly,
some newly, and some not yet disclosed; at which time (through the
leaue and kindnesse of Master May, the owner) you may make and take
your choyce. This Gent. Armes, are G, a Cheuron vary betweene
three Crownes.
The middle market towne of this Hundred, is Liskerd. Les, in Cornish,
is broad, and ker, is gone. Now, if I should say, that it is so
called, because the widenesse of this Hundred, heere contracteth the
traffike of the Inhabitants, you might well thinke I iested,
neither dare I auow it in earnest. But whencesoever you deriue
the name, hard it is, in regard of the antiquity, to deduce the towne
and Castle from their first originall; and yet I will not ioyne hands
with them who terme it Legio, as founded by the Romanes, vnlesse they
can approue the same by a Romane faith.
