Wrens and chats that pipe and whistle,

Join their notes to our epistle,

Where the bee-fraught lime

Orchestrates the lark's espousal

Not of causes but carousal:

Owl, we hear you charge the ouzel

With a waste of time!

"Princeling, a fantastic prophet

Tweaks your robe and bids you doff it,

Offers you escape from Tophet
