[The Lion rouz'd his floating Mane]

The Lion rouz'd his floating Mane
in Curls, displays his fired breast,
He rampant breaths forth high disdain,
lift up, and see a stranger Beast.

The Griffins head and wings unto
the Lyons back and legs are joynd,
Turn down the lower leaf, and you
a new and stranger sight shall find.

An Eagle here which is display'd,
doth gripe (alas) a lovely prey:
Why is there help so long delayd,
to rescue this sweet Babe away?
