NATURE'S PICTURES 



DRAWN BY 



FANCY'S PENCIL TO THE LIFE 



Written by the thrice noble, illustrious, and excellent Princess, 

 the Lady Marchioness of Newcastle 



In this volume there are several feigned stories of natural 

 descriptions, as comical, tragical, and tragi-comical, poetical, 

 romancical, philosophical, and historical, both in prose and 

 verse, some all verse, some all prose, some mixt, partly 

 prose and partly verse. Also there are some morals, and 

 some dialogues ; but they are as the advantage loaves of 

 bread to baker's dozen; and a true story at the latter end, 

 wherein there is no feignings 



1656
