The Closet of Counsells | ||
The depycture of a wrathfull man.
Yf man do marke the foolishe rageof wrathe, and ponder well,
How man dysfigurde is therby:
into a monster fell
With foule infarsed rankrous face
with mouth imboste and swolne,
And staryng eyes and stampping feete
and lyppes as black as colne,
And flautring tong and chattring teth
and brayinge roarynge voyse,
And poisned spitful wordes and works
of suche vnseemely noyse
His harte wolde loth this ouglye vyce
and vtterlye detest.
The same to see the forme of man
conuerted in a beaste.
