Of a Tiger and a Lion.
A Tiger of the Hyrcan flocke,so tame, that he would stande
Betwene his masters leggs, and eke
moste louyng licke his hande.
Thus tame I saie, yet did he slaie,
a Lion huge and sore:
A thyng so straunge as neuer erst,
was harde the like before.
No suche thyng durst he enterprise,
in woods when wilde was he:
Now brought with vs to liue, his moode
more ragyng fearce ye see.
