Original Text
Larks. WHEN you have picked them properly, cut off their heads, and the pinions of the first joint. Beat the breast-bone flat, then turn the feet close to the legs, and put one into the other. Draw out the gizzard, and run a skewer through the middle of the bodies. Tie the skewer fast to the spit when you put them down to roast. Wheat-ears, and other small birds, must be done in the same manner.
