Epig. 19. Pengwin, the eight wonder of the world.

To his Cousen Rees Griffith, a Peregrinator.

The vniverse, as we may reade, containes
But only seaven wonders, strange and rare;
The eight, to make the number ev'n, remaines,
Which, Disticke-wise, herein I will declare.
This is a Bird, that Pengwin ha's to name,
Which never slew, and yet was never tame.
