[To set a Manlie heade vpon a Horses necke]

To set a Manlie heade vpon a Horses necke,
And all the lims with diuers plumes of diuers hue to decke,
Or paint a womans face aloft to open showe,
And make the Picture ende in fish, with scaly skinne belowe
I thinke (my friendes) would cause you laugh and smile to see
How yl these yl compacted things and members would agree.
