Yes, here’s a nest! a nest indeed,

That doth all other nests exceed,

Propped with the blackthorn twigs beneath,

And festooned with a woodbine wreath!

Look at it close, all knit together,

Moss, willow-down, and many a feather;

So soft, so light, so wrought with grace,

So suited to this green-wood place,

And spangled o’er, as with the intent

Of giving fitting ornament,
