FAB. LXXVII. The Peacock and Nightingale.

The Peacock to the wife of Jove complaines,
The Nightingall out charm'd her in her straines,
Juno reply'd—tho' she in voice excell,
She cannot thy bright beauties parallell.

Morall

Envy not others good since Providence,
Guifts fitted to each genious does dispence.
