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)
