Sometimes attributed to Glasse, but in fact the phrase appears nowhere in her Art of Cookery. The closest is under roast hare (page 6), "Take your hare when it be cas'd", simply meaning take a skinned hare.

And chase the hare with the ox,
And swim against the torrent.”

E cas la lebre ab lo bueu
E nadi contra suberna.
