“A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage. A dove-house fill d with doves and pigeons Shudders hell thro all its regions. A dog starv d at his master s gate Predicts the ruin of the state. A horse misused upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear.
