As coy as any lady,

And, flutt’ring, sent a diamond haze

Around his bath so shady.

Then popt out on the olive moss

So softly deep and luscious;

Then skimm’d the blue-eyed flow’rs across,

And perch’d within the bushes.

He perk’d his head like dandy prig,

Now feeling fine and fresher;

And took the air upon a twig,
