All Creaturs else on Earth that are 

 Whether they Peace affect or Warre 

 Males ther Females ne're opress

 Her enuious teeth doth nott bitte 

 To Carracterize her yitt more fitt

 But in a word t'express this Euell 

 T'is the Sin peculier to the Duiill

 Her branches furder or that more offends 

 Then Coller doth of w<^'' no sex or Age 

 Can boast a full exemption from itts rage 

 And when it's boundless fury growes 

 It's high distemper Madnes showes
