De ses deux bras nerveux Il maitrise aisement,
Et leur faict faire Ioug desoubs luy forcement
Encor qu'on estimat qu'ils fussent indomptables.

Ung sanglier escumeux à la grand' dent pointue,
Qui hommes, vignes et bleds degatoient enragé,
Et par qui l'vniuers estoit endommagé,
Seul, par sa hardiesse, Il acreuante et tue.[335]
The orthography of these verses proves that they were printed in the seventeenth century[336]; but the very appearance of the verses, and the condition of the plates, which are already worm-eaten, are sufficient to justify one in assigning to the latter a very much earlier date than to the former. So that I can do no better than to refer them to the year 1525, when we find Tory using the same monogram.
