from The Art of Poetry
A Paynter if he shoulde adjoyne
unto a womans heade
A longe maires necke, and overspred
the corps in everye steade
With sondry feathers of straunge huie,
the whole proportioned so
Without all good congruitye:
the nether partes do goe
Into a fishe, on hye a freshe
welfavord womans face:
My friends let in to see the sighte
could you but laugh a pace?
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by Thomas Drant (1567)
