THE DRIFFIELD ANGLLR. 109 



The watchful halcyons to the reeds repair, 

 And from their haunts the scaly captives 



bear: 

 Sharp herns and cormorants their tribe 



oppress : 



A harassed race, peculiar in distress : 

 Nor can the muse enumerate their foes, 

 Such is their fate, so various are their woes.
