Shorter Works in English Prose Henry Morley

Excerpt from Shorter Works in English Prose: Selected, Edited and Arranged In that desert are many wild men, hideous to look on, and horned; and they Speak nought, but grunt like pigs. And there is also great plenty of wild dogs. And there are many parrots, which speak of their own nature, and salute men that go through the deserts, and speak to them as plainly as though it were a man. And they that speak well have a large tongue, and have five toes upon each foot. And there are also others which have but three toes upon each foot, and they speak but little.
