In Hispania there
were many rabbits. One etymological theory suggests that Hispania might be a
cognate of rabbit. A rabbit appears on the reverse of an Emperor Hadrian coin.
Pliny visited the islands of Hispania Balearica and reported that rabbits were
decimating the economy. The Balearicans asked Emperor Augustus to help. He sent
troops and ferrets.
On the 1st of August, say WHITE RABBIT WHITE RABBIT
WHITE RABBIT. It might help fend off ferrets.
