If the cat washes her face o’er the ear,
’Tis a sign that the weather’ll be fine and clear.
A robin red-breast in a cage
Puts all Heaven in a rage.
A skylark wounded on the wing,
Doth make a cherub cease to sing.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be beloved by men.
The wanton boy that kills the fly
Shall feel the spider’s enmity.
