Phoenix.
—The bird of fameThat still renewes it selfe and neuer dies,And onely one in all the world there flies.S. I. Harrington.
* Of all chast birds the Phaenix doth excell,Of all strong beasts the Lyon beares the bell:Of all sweete flowers, the Rose doth sweetest smell.Of all pure mettalls gold is onely purest,Of all the trees the Pine hath highest crest.Of all proud birds the Eagle pleaseth Ioue,Of pretie fowles kind Venus likes the Doue,Of trees Minerua doth the Oliue moue.T. Lodge.
* Who holdeth league with Neptune and the winde?S. Dan.
The Phaenix gazeth on the sunnes bright beames,The Echinaeus swims against the streames.R. Greene.
