[The little Birds, as well as you]
The little Birds, as well as you,I've mark'd with anxious Care,
How free their Pleasures they pursue
How void of every Care.
But Birds of various Kinds you'll meet,
Some constant to their Loves:
Are chattering Sparrows half so sweet
As tender cooing Doves?

Some on their Note presume,
Some on their Form, and some you'll find
Proud of a gaudy Plume:
Some love a hundred, some you'll meet
Still constant to their Loves;
Are chattering Sparrows half so sweet
As tender cooing Doves?
