When I had thought my end was near,
And I must soon prepare to die -
'Be quick! Be quick!' the Mavis called,
And 'Haw, Haw, Haw!' the Rooks did cry.
What bird, with even greater scorn,
Has come so quickly following after?
Is this the Chaffinch - how his voice
Reproves me with its wholesome laughter!
