 2 THE CHERRIE II. The cushat crouds, the corbie cries, The cuckoo cuks, the prattling pyes, To geck her they begin: The jargon of the jangling jays, The craicking craws, the keckling kays, They deav'd me with their din. The painted pawn with ARGUS eyes Can on his Mayock call, The Turtle wails on wither'd trees, And Echo answers all, Repeating with greeting, How fair NARCISSUS fell, By lying and spying His shadow in the well. III. I saw the hurcheon and the hare In hidlings hirpling here and there, To make their morning mange : The con, the coney, and the cat, Whase dainty downs with dew were wat, With stiff mustachis strange. The hart, the hind, the dae, the rae, The fulmart, and false fox, The bearded buck clamb up the brae, With birsie boars and brocks : Some feeding, some dreading The hunter's subtle snares, With skipping and tripping, They play'd them all in pairs.
