Ah happy bird, whom the wind and the rain,

And snare of the fowler, beset but in vain;

Oh, had I thy wing,

Leaving others to sing,

How soon would I be with my lover again!

Laz. (aloud within). Pray God, poor man, if thou be innocent

Of any ill intention in thy chirping,

The blade I draw upon thee turn to wood!

A miracle! A miracle! (Rushing in.)

Prince. How now?
