haye

A shark (scaleless cartilaginous fish).

They have of Hayens or Tuberons which devour men, especially such as fish for Pearles.

Other unlucky accidents oft-times happen in these seas, as, when (especially in becalmings) men swim in the bearing ocean, the greedy Hayen, called Tuberon or Shark, armed with a double row of venomous teeth, pursue them, directed by a little rhombus or musculus, variously streaked and coloured with blue and white, that scuds to and fro to bring the shark intelligence.

Obsolete spelling of hay (“grass cut and dried for use as animal fodder”).
