H ORNES , hoofes and teeth (as Aristotle holds)
Come from one cause, by nature so assigned:
Heere hence it is, Hornes those beasts' heads vphold
Whose vpper lawes are toothlesse made by kinde.
Be it by kinde or vnkinde accidents,
Or els because that toothlesse is each chap;
Alphinus' browes beare such horn'd ornaments,
That he (Hard head) can hardly weare his cap;
Let graue philosophers the cause dispute:
His wife, and he, and I were best be mute.
