6. On severall Countries.
In severall figures severall Regions are,Cast and describ'd, some round, some angular:
So Irelands forme is Ovall, Britaine takes
The threatning semblance of a sharpned Axe,
(Where-with large France seemes hewne into a square)
And to an Oxes hyde we Spaine compare:
But Nature well, brave Italy doth show
Like a swift Legge, that farre with Fame doth goe.
