THE OWL AND THE SWALLOW. A fable.
Humbly inscribed to the writers who poorly subsist on scraps
snatched from approved authors.
. . . [Quote from Locke]
On patch-work scribblers, who to hammer
Quotations out consult your grammar,
In Lilly, and such friends as he,
In indexes, who silly see
. . . [48 lines follow]
