    To fledge the shaft by which he meets his doom,
    See their own feathers pluck'd, to wing the dart,
    Which rank corruption destines for their heart!

As the sweet voice of a bird,
Heard by the lander in a lonely isle,
Moves him to think what kind of bird it is,
That sings so delicately clear, and make
Conjecture of the plumage and the form.
