Might be supposed a crow.

The Jackdaw. (Translation from Vincent Bourne.)

[[424]]

He sees that this great roundabout

The world, with all its motley rout,

Church, army, physic, law,

Its customs and its businesses,

Is no concern at all of his,

And says—what says he?—Caw.

The Jackdaw. (Translation from Vincent Bourne.)
