Tenth Miracle.

The vales of Tartary men live in,
Whose heads, are wondrous like a Griphin,

10

And what is strange as all the rest,
Eyes they have seated in their breast.
Not farre from these the Monster flings,
A paire of different colour'd wings,
And yet they fly for all wings use,
As heavy as a powder'd Goose,
Be Griphin Sire, but Eyes and Nose
In breast a Thornebacke-Damme disclose,
And then the wings shew in a word,
They part are fish, and part are bird.
But slow flight shewes theyre, without erring,
Nor Fish, nor Fowle, nor good Red Herring.
