[To Harts and Hares Nature gave heels]

[1]

To Harts and Hares Nature gave heels
Horns to the Bull to Eagles wings
ffishes she armd with sins & scales
With his stout fang the Lyon dings

332

With wisdom and a Brawny Arm
man claims to bear the Sovraign Sway
to keep the Tender fair from harm
what Sheild what arms have they?

3

A gift surmounting all the rest
altho it weaker seems than ony
yet is befar strongest & best
wha can resist or wrang what's Bony
