No dulcet notes I e'er could claim;

So worthless I, you may obtain

Two Sparrows for a farthing.

Besides, I ne'er was form'd to sing,

And so must soar on humbler wing,

Since nature saw it fitter;

But yet my feeble powers I'll try,

And sound my chatt'ring notes on high,

For I am sure you'll not deny

To hear my simple twitter.
