ODE XII. ON A SWALLOW.

Say, chattering Bird, that dar'st invade
My Slumbers with thy Serenade,
And steal'st my visionary Bliss,
How shall I punish thee for this?
Say, shall I clip thy soaring Wing;
Or, like stern Tereus, Thracian King,
To Swallows Name of dire Dismay,
Tear by the Roots thy Tongue away?
37

For, with thy execrable Scream,
Thou wak'st me from a golden Dream,
38

And from my Arms hast snatch'd away
Phyllis the fair, the young, the gay.
