He has done like Orbaneja, the painter of Ubeda, who, being asked
what he painted, answered, "As it may hit;" and when he had scrawled
out a misshapen cock, was forced to write underneath, in Gothic letters,
"This is a cock."
-- Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616)
-- Don Quixote, Part ii, Book iii, Chap. iii
