Harpy - The Mythological Zoo

They certainly contrived to raise
Queer ladies in the olden days.
Either the type had not been fixed,
Or else Zoology got mixed.
I envy not primeval man
This female on the feathered plan.
We only have, I'm glad to say,
Two kinds of human bird to-day—
Women and warriors, who still
Wear feathers when dressed up to kill.
