How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/A Sparrer; Asparagus

From Wikisource
A Sparrer. Asparagus.

Of the fall of the Sparrow we often have heard,
And I've here represented the fall of the bird:
In the case of Asparagus though, I may mention,
A fall such as this, is quite out of the question:
For observe that Asparagus, fat and well fed,
Spends all of his time in the 'sparagus bed.
