And hear the fox with savage bark
Pay distant courtship through the dark;
The owl with fault’ring voice unfold
Her tale, like one who shakes with cold:
And then the alarmed woods resound
Th’ upbraidings of the well-train’d hound,
Who with tremendous tongue arraigns
And haunts the plunderer of his plains.
So cries from earth the life-blood spilt,
So waking furies harrass guilt!
