It is an observation amongst countrey people, that years of store of hawes and hips do commonly portend cold winters; and they ascribe it to God's providence, that, as the Scripture saith, reacheth even to the falling of a sparrow; and much more is like to reach to the preservation of birds in such season.-Bacon.

The capital stroke, the leading step to all that followed, was (I believe the first thought was Bridgman's) the destruction of walls for boundaries, and the invention of fossés, an attempt then deemed so astonishing, that the common people called them Ha! Ha's! to express their surprise at finding a sudden and unperceived check to their walk. Walpole. On Modern Gardening. A. S. Haf-oc; Dut. Havick; Ger. Habich; It Sw. Hoek. seems (says Wachter) to have its name from having or holding, ut accipiter ab accipiendo, and thus to be from the A. S. Habban; Ger. Hab-en; to have or hold. Vossius (in v. Accipiter) derives the Ger. Habbik, from Ger. Happen, (itself probably from Hab-en, arripere, apprehendere, to seize, to seize hold.

HAWK, v. HAWK, n. HAWKER. HAWKING, n.
