"And also as it come vnto my mynde,
Off bestis sawe I mony diuerss kynde.
The lyoun king, and his fere lyonesse,
The pantere, like vnto the smaragdyne,
The lytill sqerell, full of besynesse,
The slawe ass, the druggar-beste of pyne,
The nyce ape, the werely porpapyne,
The percyng lynx, the lufar vnicorne
••••••
The fery tigere, full of felonye,
The dromydare, the standar oliphant."
From The Kingis Quhair, James I. (of Scotland).
