ig cap oerspread. But see; he turns aside;He scorns the sweets that knowledge yieldsAnd oft prefers to roarn the fields From morn till eventide.Oft too the warblers of the airAre tangled in some secret snare, Spread by this naughty boy;But darker deeds and thievish gainsNow occupy his little… … So oer the garden wall he went,And to a tree his footsteps bent, Whose excellence he knew;Where many an apple ripe and red,All temptingly above his head, In rich profusion grew.
