They differ in external Form: The _Draconopades_ are represented by a human Face, and sightly Countenance; the rest of the Body in a tortuous winding Shape. In one of Dr. _Johnson_’s Figures, a Dragon is made to appear like a Man’s Face, with a Grenadier’s Cap on the Head. Some differ in Colour, some are black in the upper Part of the Body, according to _Philostratus_; red, according to _Homer_; yellow, according to _Pausanias_; and _Lucan_ makes it a golden Colour[150]. Footnote 150: _Philostratus de Vita Apol._ lib. iii. cap. 2. _Homer._ _Iliad_, lib. 12. _Lucan._ _Pharsal. in Jonstoni Historia Serpentum_, p. 33, 34. The same Historian observes, that in the _Atlantick_ Mountains, they kill where they touch, and those that are in the Kingdom of _Narsinga_, and dwell in the Woods, kill all they meet. _Ibid._[151] Footnote 151: _Unde quidam in arbores & chamo dracones distinxere._ I presume, the Author means _Narsinga_, a potent Kingdom, bounded on the East with the Bay of _Bengal_, that noble Part of _India_, says _Herbert_[152]; where the Monarch is always attended with 1000 for his Guards, has 5 or 6000 Jesters, and reckons it one of his chief Titles to be the Husband of a Thousand Wives. Footnote 152: His Travels into _Africa_ and _Asia_, the famous Empires of _Persia_ and _Indostan_,—Oriental Islands. Dragons are Inhabitants of _Africa_ and _Asia_; those of _India_ exceed most in Largeness and Longitude: In the Tower of _London_, is the Skin of one, which is of vast Bulk. In _Æthiopia_, they have no Name for _Dragons_, but _Killers of Elephants_, which is supposed to be the largest of Land-Animals. Over the Water-gate in the City of _Rhodes_, there is set up the Head of a _Dragon_, which was 33 Foot long, that wasted all the Country, till it was slain by _Deodate de Gozon_, one of the _Knights of St. John Baptist_[153]. The _Knights of that Order_ had frequently attack’d it, but in vain; for its Scales being proof against all their Arms, it destroyed so many of them, that the Grand-Master forbad them to engage the Monster any more.
