A Monstrous shape . OR A shapelesse Monster .

A Description of a female creature borne in Holland , compleat in every part , save only a head like a swine , who hath travailed into many parts , and is now to be seene in LONDON ,

Shee s loving , courteous , and effeminate , And nere as yet could find a loving mate . To the tune of the Spanish Pavin .

OF horned Uulcan I haue heard , His téeth were longer than his beard , Whose monstrous looks made all afeard which did that night behold him : And of transformed Acteon , Which like a Hart in Forest ran , And how faire Lidia like a Swan transformed . Of Robin Goodfellow also , Which was a seruant long agoe , The Quéen of Fairies doth it know , and hindered him in fashion : She knew not what she did her selfe , She chang'd him like a Fairie elfe , For all his money , goods , and pelfe , she gull'd him . But yet be brisk you Yonkers bold , And list to what I shall vnfold , Such newes afore was neuer told , as I will now relate : My subiect is of such a Girle , That hath both siluer , gold , and pearle , Yet neuer will be for an Earle right fitted . This Urokin as I vnderstand , Is now arriued from Dutchland , And hath as much gold at command that she would wish or craue : Her portion thréescore thousand pound , Both corn and cattell on her ground , As good as any may be found in Holland . Besides , a dainty Lasse is she , A Boores daughter in the Low-country , Her mother is in her degrée a very proper Fro , And all the Tribe from whence she came Call her faire Pigs nye by her name , You 'l say they haue reason for the same hereafter . To describe her from top to toe , I purpose now for to doe so , And shew how neatly she doth goe when young men come a wooing : She shews her pretty heele and foot , A dainty leg adioyning to 't , Her stockins stik , if that will do 't she cares not .

The second part , To the same tune .

HEr person it is straight and tall , A lilly white hand , her fingers small Makes her the handsomest wench of all that euer her father got : In handsomnesse she doth excell Both bouncing Kate , and bonny Nell , In dancing she doth beare the bell of many . So choice of fare she is indéed , As oft as she doth stand in néed , A siluer trough she hath to féed , when euer she wants victuall : The siluer trough is straight brought out Wherein she puts her dainty snout , And swéetly sucks till all is out of action . And to speak further for her grace , She hath a dainty white swines face , Which shews that she came of a race that loued fat porke and bacon : Yet would I not her kindred wrong , Her nose I think is two foot long , Also her breath is very strong and fulsome . Yet let no party her despise , She is furnished with two pigs nies , Though something of the largest size ▪ they doe become her neatly , Her ears hang lolling toward the ground More fairer then a mastie hound , Thus are her fortunes still renown'd by hearesay . Great store of suters euery day , Resort vnto her as they say , But who shall get this girle away , as yet I doe not know : But thus much I dare vndertake , If any doe a wife her make , It is onely for her moneyes sake he loues her . If any young man long to sée This creature wheresoere she be , I would haue him be rul'd by me , and not to be too forward , Lest ye at last should fare the worse , Although she haue a golden purse , She is not fit to be a nurse in England .
