    As the sweet voice of a bird,
    Heard by the lander in a lonely isle,
    Moves him to think what kind of bird it is,
    That sings so delicately clear, and make
    Conjecture of the plumage and the form.

And speak men what they can to him he'll answer
With some rhyme, rotten sentence, or old saying,
Such spokes as ye ancient of ye parish use.
