In my husband's English Literature Book (The Norton Anthology, Sixth
Edition, Volume One), there is a Mystery Play entitled "Noah's Flood".
Noah's wife is talking about the animals as they are boarding the ark,
and she says:
 
"And here are bears, wolves set,
Apes, owls, marmoset,
Weasels, squirrels, and ferret;
Here they eat their meat."
 
:) Happy Ferreting!

      to the FML!")
McKyle ("I ain't sharing my food with no weasels & squirrels!")
