THE HISTORY OF THE DOLPHIN
by Ashley Montagu
The friendly Dolphin, while within the maine,
At libertie delightes, to sport and play,
Himselfe is fresh, and doth no whit retaine
The brinish saltnes of the boundless Sea
Wherein he lives. Such is the secret skill
Of Nature working, all thinges at her will.
Henry Peacham, Minerva Britanna, 1612
