Of Dawlus his vnkind kindnesse.

Epi. 116.

Crowes will not feed their yong til 9. daies old,
Because their vnkind colour makes thē doubt
Them to be theirs; which makes thē to with-hold
Their helpe, till Time the truth by proofe brings out,
If Dawlus then were witty as a Daw,
Hauing a Child so farre vnlike him selfe,
He would from him his helping-hand with-draw,

And let th' vndoubted father keepe the Elfe:
But (Nat'rall) he, is kinder than a Crow,
To keepe the Brat, whose Sire he doth not know.
