MArke well this Caged-fowle; and, thereby, see,

What, thy estate, may, peradventure, be.

She, wants her freedome; so, perhaps, dost thou,

Some freedomes lacke, which, are desired, now;

And, though, thy Body be not so confin'd;

Art straitned, from some liberty of Minde.

The Bird in thrall, the more contented lyes,

Because, the Hawke, so neere her, she espyes;

And, though, the Cage were open, more would feare,

To venture out, then to continue there:
