Illustration Friday - Old Fashioned

I've been working on some more hand lettering designs for my portfolio based on old proverbs and sayings.  Apparently this one which refers to mediaeval falconry first appeared in print in 1670!  Pretty 'old fashioned' then, so I thought it would be quite fitting for this week's topic.
