THE HISTORY OF THE DOLPHIN 



by Ashley Montagu 



The friendly Dolphin, while within the maine, 

 At libertie delightes, to sport and play, 

 Himself e is fresh, and doth no whit retaine 

 The brinish saltnes of the boundless Sea 

 Wherein he lives. Such is the secret s\ill 

 Of Nature wording, all thinges at her will. 



Henry Peacham, Mi?ierva Britanna, 1612
