 | The poems and translations of Sir Edward Sherburne (1616-1702) |  |
On a Swallow torn in Peeces by her Fellowes.
VVhen for their winter Homes the swallows made,One 'gainst the Custome in her old Nest staid.
The rest at Spring return'd, the Crime perceive,
And the offending Bird of Life bereave.
Late yet she suffer'd, she deserv'd before,
But then when she in Peeces Itys tore.
