English Dictionary

Not Heathpout, or the rarer Bird,

Which Phasis, or Ionia yields,

More pleasing Morsels would afford

Than the fat Olives of my Fields;

Than Shards or Mallows for the Pot,

That keep the loosen’d Body sound,

Or than the Lamb that falls by Lot,

Not Heathpout, or the rarer Bird, Which Phasis, or Ionia yields, More pleasing Morsels would afford Than the fat Olives of my Fields; Than Shards or Mallows for the Pot, That keep the loosen’d Body sound, Or than the Lamb that falls by Lot, To the just Guardian of my Ground.
