Sentences with OPINICUS (1)
Hence originated the mistake of pourtraying it without legs, "and for this cause," sagely observes Guillim, "it is also given for a _difference_ of younger brethren to put them in minde to trust to their wings of vertue and merit to raise themselves, and not to their legges, having but little land to put their foot on." The _opinicus_ differs slightly from the griffin, having four lion's legs instead of two, and the tail is short like that of a camel.
