FAB. 54. Of the Fowler and the Ring-dove.
FOwlers to birds are enemies by profession;One saw a Dove had newly took possessionOf a high tree, laid his snares by and byFor him, (although a Dove, and his nest high;)Whilst so employ'd he trod upon a snakeWhich turn'd again, for it she would not take,But bit him soundly, made him stare again;Catching a Dove, said he, I've caught my ban••.
Mor.
Harm watch, harm catch, a mischief be their speedOf barmless Doves Trapanners are indeed.
