'Beasts' in the Bible

And yet, ask, I pray thee, One of the beasts, and it doth shew thee, And a fowl of the heavens, And it doth declare to thee.

Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.
