Rh Fowls their appointed time observe, wots not the night from noon.

Whose heart made equal with the Beast, driven out with those that Bray; The Diadem as well fits thee, Ass, go, as much to say, Until return'd came to himself, knew him that rules on high, Over the sons of men appoints what office they supply. During which space, this Assyrian, what watch kept night and day, Thus metamorphos'd, over him, lest make himself away. Fields, woods as well, ring out, as men for woe, and Echoes call Mercy this savage King upon, in holy Temples all.

Bewailed, dejected soul, thus fallen, fed now grazing full low, whilst they bedew the ground with tears discerns not friend from foe.
