The Turtle by him neuer stird, Example of immortall loue. The Swan that sings, about to die, Leauing Meander stood thereby. M. Roydon.
The ill fac'te Owle deaths dreadfull messenger, The hoarse night Rauen, trompe of dolful dreere, The lether winged Bat, dayes enemie, The ruful Strich stil wayting on the beere, The Whistler shril, that who so heares doth die, The hellish Harpies prophets of sad destenie. Ed. Spencer.
The red-shankt Orcads toucht with no remorse, The light-foote Irish which with darts make warre. Th'rancke ridin'd Scot his swift running horse, The English Archer of a Lyons force. The valiant Norman all his troopes among, In bloody conquest tryed in armes traind long. M. Drayton.
