The Red-Pole. 



THIS is a pretty little Bird, the CocL 

 hath a very red Breafl:, and a red 

 Head, he fingsa pretty Sort of chattering. 

 Song, but in my Opinion, hardly worth 

 keeping. They are fed with the fame Food=. 

 as a phaHinchora Linnet. In my Opini- 

 on, there is none of the three hft mention- 

 ed Birds that breeds in England, for they 

 come from the North againtl Winter, and 

 return back in the Spring : Some fay they 

 hreodm France, and calf them the J^mzr^^ 

 Linnet, but I be lite ve they breed mScctland, 

 or thofe North Parts, by Reafon of their, 

 coming hc-^e againft cold Weather,.
