The Nightingale and Hawk.
[illustration]
The warhling Nightingale who vse'd t'endeareWith her harmonious lays ye. Charmed Eare,Was by an eager Hauk surpriz'd, whom sheeWith melting ayres Implores to set her free.
Saying his gorge could not be well supply'dWith her thin ru••ins, the keene Hauk reply'd.Vrge not thy smaller bulke, a bird possestOnt poyses two yt in the bush doe rest.
〈…〉〈…〉 though ne're so small thy interest,When thou hast it with care and art possest.
