This Fowler is an Emblem of the Devil,
His Nets and Whistle, Figures of all evil.
His Glass an Emblem is of sinful Pleasure,
And his Decoy, of who counts sin a Treasure.

And his Decoy, of who counts sin a Treasure.
This simple Lark's a shadow of a Saint,
Under allurings, ready now to faint.
Under allurings, ready now to faint.
This admonisher a true Teacher is,
Whose work's to shew the Soul the snare and bliss.
And how it may this Fowler's net escape,
And not commit upon it self this Rape.
