Epig. 76. On Cornutus, the Monster.

To his lo: friend Will: Arne.

Of all wilde Birds, I loth the monstrous Bat,
Which is a bird, and eke a filthy beast;
But of tame birds, I do most deadly hate,
That's man in shape, yet hath a Beast-like creast.
Which of these Monsters do'st abhorre the more?
I thinke the tame, that with his Hornes doth Gore.
