THE STRANGE FISHES.

Most ely shapes and horrible aspects,
Such as Dame Natures self mote might
fear to see
Or shame that ever should so foul defects
From her most cunning hand escaped be;
All dreadful portraits Of dpformity,
Spring headed hydras and sea shoulderlng
whales
Great whirlpools which all fishes make to fee,
Bright scolopendras armed with silver scales,
Mighty monoceros with immeasured tails
The dreadful fish that hath deserved the name
or death and like MIN looks in dreadful hue,
The grisy WasSerman that makes his game
The flying ships with swiftncss to pursue,
The horrible sea satyr that doth show
His fearful face in time Of greatest storm,
Huge ziftius, whom mariners eschew
No less than rocks, as travellers inform,
And greedy rosmarines with visages doform.
