His gracious edict the same franchise yields }
To all the wild increase of woods and fields, }
And who in rocks aloof, and who in steeples builds: }
To Crows the like impartial grace affords,
And Choughs and Daws, and such republic birds;
Secured with ample privilege to feed,
Each has his district, and his bounds decreed;
Combined in common interest with his own,
But not to pass the Pigeons' Rubicon.
