He kills it. Everything serves to further.
Hi, Bruce:... There are old war horse stories about putting a short nail through the sole of your shoe to remind you when to stop killing the deal with a jawbone of an ass.
Kunst says ... «The duke uses this oracle in shooting a hawk... », which presumably means «This line was obtained when the duke shot a hawk».
Rutt, page 334
