(Of the Tongues of Pigs and Calves in Sausage-skins.)  
Oh! how foul a thing, that we should see the tongue of one animal in  
the guts of another.  
(Of Sieves made of the Hair of Animals.)  
We shall see the food of animals pass through their skin everyway  
excepting through their mouths, and penetrate from the outside  
downwards to the ground.  
(Of Lanterns.)  
[Footnote 35: Lanterns were in Italy formerly made of horn.] The  
cruel horns of powerful bulls will screen the lights of night  
against the wild fury of the winds.  
(
Of Feather-beds.)  
Flying creatures will give their very feathers to support men.  
(Of Animals which walk on Trees--wearing wooden Shoes.)  
The mire will be so great that men will walk on the trees of their  
country.
