THE EXACT EFFIGIES OF A Monstrous Tartar TAKEN IN HUNGARY By the Valour of the Noble COUNT SERINI . February , 1664

BLess us ! what have we here ! what Prodigy Is this that is presented to my eye ? Such Monstrous shape & form , we may inquir● Whether or Man or Horse he had to Sire Like those mishapen things call'd Centaurs , who The Poets feign'd were Men and Horses too . Monster of Nature , wonder of our Age , Sure Mandevil in all his Pilgrimage Nere saw thy Like , nor yet have we e're read That fruitful Affrick such a Monster bred : Who dares encounter with thy mighty Force That 'gainst thy Foe doth bring both man and Horse ? Hadst thou been here when Rebell Rump bore sway , Thou might'st of them have had a Troopers pay , For when the Devil no longer for them stood , The Devils Picture might have done them good , And frighted Lambert with that Look of thine , The Devil should come for him before his time , And Warreston that mickle man of might Had ran away from such a dreadful Sight . But see that Champion of Christendom , Serini , how he makes the Monster run ; Tartars , nor Turks , nay Devils don't inherit Valour enough to daunt so brave a Spirit ; He like to Caesar Conquers where he comes , And by his Valour Monsters from him runs . His single Sword doth make whole Troopes to fly , And by his hand Thousands of Pagans die . Not those feign'd Hero's whom the times of Old Have in Fames Golden Legend so enroll'd , For matchless Valour ; all their feigned Story Comes short of Noble Count Serini's Glory . Go on brave Soul , and Prosper in thy way , Make Turks to Tremble , Monsters Thee Obey ; Till thou as many of the Turks hast Slain As ever did that Scythian Tamberlain ; And that they from thy Name do run with dread , As once they did from Noble Scanderbeg : Let Victory attend upon thy Name , And live triumphant in the Book of Fame .
