Birds.

The aires nimble winged guests. Natures choristers, minstrels, minstrelsie. The summers waits. VVinged minstrels. Musitians. Sweet heralds of the spring. The winged conforts. The forrest Quire. The airy quire. Artless songsters. The free inhabitants of the pliant aire. The chirping choristers. The aires feathered parishioners. The quiris••••rs of May. The denizons of aire. The slitting pinionists of aire. The Sylvan quite. The feathered people of the skie. The feathered quiristers which on their spraies Chant to the mer••y spring, and wooe the flood,

Or with their musick court the sullen wood. Feathered Musitians of the spring. The airy people That with wild musick burthen every bough, And in the evening hush asleep the day. The aires Musitians sing And carol to the flowry spring. VVild inhabitants of the aire. The winged travellers that trace the skie. That with their chirping lullaby the day. That in their leavie cages sing A welcome to th'approaching spring. The wing'd Musitians that awake the morne That with their horny haut boyes musick make. The warbling chanters of the wood. VVinged crew, train, troope, chattering flocks. The airy passengers. The woods wild burgesses. The living ships with feathered sailes. Sylvanus winged songsters. The chirping consorts of the aire. The citizens of path-lesse woods.
