Times Cvrtaine Drawne | ||
Another vpon the same, Dialogue-wise, betwixt Sturnus and Struthio.
Struthio.Parrot and Wood-cock are of late fall'ne out;
Sturnus.
Deare Struthio tell me what it is about?
Struthio.
I know not I, but as it seemes to me
'Cause th'Wood-cock ha's a longer bill then he;
Sturnus.
Why, that can be no cause, for if hee will
Parrot I'me sure can make as long a Bill.
Struthio.
Sturnus I know no other cause for it
Vnlesse it be that th'Wood-cock ha's more wit!
Sturnus.
Why hee ha's none at all;
Struthio.
Nor th'Parrot neither:
Sturnus.
Birds should be of one mind that's of one fether.
Struthio.
Yet shall we see some Wittalls, if we trie them,
Cannot endure a Wittall neighbour by them.
Sturnus.
Good God, to see wit weake and hate so strong!
Struthio.
It's seene i'th Wood-cocks Spring, and Parrots Song.
FINIS.
