Here, to appearance, from the forest prest

  A cruel Beast and hideous to the eye,

  With teeth of wolf, an ass's head and crest,

  A carcass with long famine lean and dry,

  And lion's claws; a fox in all the rest:

  Which seemed to ravage France and Italy,

  And Spain and England's desolated strands,

  Europe and Asia, and in fine all lands.
