ON SEEING A BIRD-CATCHER.
Health in his rags, Content upon his face,
He goes th' enslaver of a feather'd race:
And cunning snares, warm hearts; like warblers, take;
The one to sing for sport, the other, break.
He goes th' enslaver of a feather'd race:
And cunning snares, warm hearts; like warblers, take;
The one to sing for sport, the other, break.
