and hens the rest	A
I nursed them up with pain and care	B
Nor cost nor labour did I spare	B
Till at the last they felt their wing	C
Mounted the trees and learned to sing	C
Chief of the brood then took his flight	D
To regions far and left me quite	D
My mournful chirps I after send	E
Till he return or I do end	E
Leave not thy nest thy dam and sire	F
Fly back and sing amidst this choir	F
My second bird did take her flight	D
And with her mate flew out of sight	D
Southward they both their course did bend	E
And seasons twain they there did spend	E
Till after blown by southern gales	G
They norward steered with filled sails	G
A prettier bird was no where seen	H
Along the beach among the treen	H
I have a third of colour white	D
On whom I placed no small delight	D
Coupled with mate loving and true	I
Hath also bid her dam adieu	I
And where Aurora first appears	J
She now hath perched to spend her years	J
One to the academy flew	I
To chat among that learned crew	I
Ambition moves still in his breast	A
That he might chant above the rest	A
Striving for more than to do well	K
That nightingales he might excel	K
My fifth whose down is yet scarce gone	L
Is 'mongst the shrubs and bushes flown	M
And as his wings increase in strength	N
On higher boughs he'll perch at length	N
My other three still with me nest	A
Until they're grown then as the rest	A
Or here or there they'll take their flight	D
As is ordained so shall they light	D
If birds could weep then would my tears	O
Let others know what are my fears	J
Lest this my brood some harm should catch	P
And be surprised for want of watch	Q
Whilst pecking corn and void of care	B
They fall un'wares in fowler's snare	B
Or whilst on trees they sit and sing	C
Some untoward boy at them do fling	C
Or whilst allured with bell and glass	R
The net be spread and caught alas	R
Or lest by lime twigs they be foiled	S
Or by some greedy hawks be spoiled	S
O would my young ye saw my breast	A
And knew what thoughts there sadly rest	A
Great was my pain when I you fed	T
Long did I keep you soft and warm	U
And with my wings kept off all harm	V
My cares are more and fears than ever	F
My throbs such now as 'fore were never	F
Alas my birds you wisdom want	W
Of perils you are ignorant	X
Oft times in grass on trees in flight	D
Sore accidents on you may light	D
O to your safety have an eye	Y
So happy may you live and die	Y
Meanwhile my days in tunes I'll spend	E
Till my weak lays with me shall end	E
In shady woods I'll sit and sing	C
And things that past to mind I'll bring	C
Once young and pleasant as are you	I
But former toys no joys adieu	I
My age I will not once lament	Z
But sing my time so near is spent	Z
And from the top bough take my flight	D
Into a country beyond sight	D
Where old ones instantly grow young	A2
And there with seraphims set song	B2
No seasons cold nor storms they see	C2
But spring lasts to eternity	C2
When each of you shall in your nest	A
Among your young ones take your rest	A
In chirping language oft them tell	K
You had a dam that loved you well	K
That did what could be done for young	A2
And nursed you up till you were strong	B2
And 'fore she once would let you fly	Y
She showed you joy and misery	C2
Taught what was good and what was ill	D2
What would save life and what would kill	D2
Thus gone amongst you I may live	E2
And dead yet speak and counsel give	F2
Farewell my birds farewell adieu	I
I happy am if well with you	I
