Of the common VVeefel, or ferret

Posted by Chris Clarke on January 2, 2010

Page scanned from A description of the nature of four-footed beasts: with their figures engraven in brass (1678); Chapter X. Of the weesels.

The author: Joannes Jonstonus. The scan: from Wisconsin.

(An important note to my regular readers: Yeah, yeah, allayouse. I see it. It’s just a long “s.” VVeefuls don’t really do that to eggs, whether pigeon, Raven or crow. Grow up, willya?)

Ah, for the good olde days, when VVeefels fought with ferpents armed only with a frig of run (?), and the “double-u” really was a double,uh, V.

Party-coloured hair sounds like fun.
