The Ring-Dove and the Fowler


012. THE RINGDOVE AND THE FOWLER.
While the young fowler sought, with eager skill,
A Ring Dove in a neighbouring Tree to kill,
An Adder in the floury mead beneath
Stung the unhappy youth, and stung to death.
Morall.
The young usurper, who design'd t'invade,
An others right, himselfe the victim made.
