A bird's nest. .Mark it well, within, without, 

 Xo tool had he that wrought, no knife to cut, 

 No nail to fix, no bodkin to insert, 

 Xo glue to join ; his little beak was all. 

 And yet how neatly finish'd ! What nice hand, 

 With every implement and means of art, 

 And twenty years' apprenticeship to boot, 

 Could make me such another?" HURDIS.
