Of the Envious Dogge ^> <^ *o -<o 



1VT man ought to have envy at other mens 

 good fortune, as appeareth by this fable of 

 an envious dogge which went into a stable of 

 Oxen, because that they should not enter in for 

 to eat of the hay. And then the Oxen said unto 

 him, Thou are evill and perverse to have envy of 

 other mens good, the which is to us needfull and 

 profitable, for thy kind is not to eat hay. And 

 thus he did of a great bone which he held in his 

 mouth, he would not leave it, because of the envy 

 of another dogge being hard by. This fable there- 

 fore teacheth us, that it behoaveth every one to 

 keep himselfe from the company of an envious 

 person. 



The Irish Greyhound ^> *c> ^> 



DEHOLD this Creature's Form and State; 



*-* Which Nature therefore did create, 

 That to the World might be exprest 

 What Alien there can be in a Beast ; 

 And that we in this Shape may find 

 A Lion of another Kind. 

 For this Heroick Beast does seem 

 In Majesty to Rival him.
