I Saw an vgly beast come from the sea,That seuen heads, ten crounes, ten hornes did beare••Hauing theron the vile blaspheming name.The cruell Leopard she resembled much:Feete of a beare, a Lions throte she had.The mightie Dragon gaue to hir his power.One of hir heads yet there I did espie,Still freshly bleeding of a grieuous wounde.One cride aloude. What one is like (quod he)This honoured Dragon, or may him withstande?And then came from the sea a sauage beast,With Dragons speche, and shewde his force by fire••With wondrous signes to make all wights adoreThe beast, in setting of hir image vp.
