1Will the Unicorn be willing to serve thee? will he be a ready servant to thee? he will not. As if it had been said, The Unicorn is an indocible, and an untractable animal; he will not be brought to hand, he will neither bear the yoke, nor wear the bridle; nor endure to be harnessed like the Ox and Horse; let man do what he will, what he can with him, he will neither go to Plough nor Cart, not he.
