but for necessity. Now do the black
bird and the throssel, with their melo-
dious voices. bid welcome to the cheer.

MARBLE forth such ditties as no art or
instrument can reach to. Nay, the
smaller birds do the like in their par
ticular seasons; as. namely, the
laverock, the titlark. the little linnet
and the honest robin, that loves man
kind, both alive and dead But the
nightingale, another Of my airy crea-
lures, breathes such sweet, loud music
out OF her little Instrumental throat
that It might make mankind think
miracles are not ceased. He that at
midnight, when the very laborer sleeps
securely, should hear-as ! have very
often-the clear airs, the sweet
@descants, the natural rising and fall
ing, the doubling and r~edoubling Of
her voice, might well be lifted above
earth and say
Lord, what music hast thou pro
yided for the saints in heaven. when
thou affordest to bad men such music
