Epigram. [Lyon]

These Lyons are exceeding milde and tame,
Yet oft (in Ieast) they'l claw a man starke lame:
Play with them temperately, or looke to find,
A Lyon in the end will shew his kind.

Epigram. [Lamb]

A harmlesse Signe of a most fruitfull Creature,
Yet contrary to Sheep and Lambs by nature:
They yield us cloathes to weare, and meat to live,
And nothing else but drinke, this Lamb doth give.
