Epig. 95. On the Orchadians, with their Bestiall fellowship.

It ill befits for Man and beast to lie
In one selfe roome without partitions shreene;
which the Orchadians hereof testifies.
A match ill made together as I weene.
Vnlesse it be for loue of buggerie,
The worst of kinde with beasts to multiply.
