Epig. VII. In Syrenem.
T'is strange to see a Mermaide, you will say,Yet not so strange, as that I saw to day,
One part of that which 'boue the waters rise.
Is woman, th' other fish, or fishers lies.
One part of this was man or I mistooke,
The head is mans, I iudge by hat and haire,
And by the band and doublet it doth weare,
The bodie should be mans, what doth it need?
Had it a codpeice, 'twere a man indeed.
