Flamma sine Fumo | ||
The Hen and Chickens.
See how the careful Hen, with daily pain,Her young and tender Chickens doth maintain,
From ravenous birds secure her young ones lie
Under their mothers feather'd canopy:
Thus his dear children God together brings,
And still protects them with his gracious wings.
The bird of prey Gods Doves would soon devour,
Did he not guard them with his watchful pow'r.
