The Taming of the Shrew

Using the lines below pick out the terms that are used from Taming of the Shrew, act 4, scene 1(Petruchio is talking) that are terms of falconry within only the lines below.

Well, I’ve begun my reign with a carefully

thought-out plan, and I have every hope of

succeeding. My falcon is now hungry and unfed and

must not be given enough to eat

until she comes to me, for if her hunger is

satisfied, she’ll pay no attention to the bait. I

have another plan to make my bird come to

me and recognize her owner’s call is to keep

her from sleeping—
