  1. (continued from previous page)
    The frog has changed to his yellow nest,
    And in a russet coat is dressed.
    Through June the air is cold and chill,
    The mellow black-birds voice is still
    My dog is quite altered in his taste,
    On mutton bones, and chops to feast,
    And see the rooks, how odd the flight,
    They iminate the gliding kite,
    And head-long down it seems to fall
    As if it felt the piercing ball.
    T' will surely rain, I see the sorrow
    Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
