THE HOUSE-SPARROW'S SPEECH, 



Fringilla Domestica. — Linnaeus. 



" Go to the Indian, White Man ! go— 

 And learn his Ourah reed to blow — 

 Compound Wourali poison — deep 

 The arrow in the fell juice steep, 

 Then shoot — the bird, with scarce a sigh, 

 "Will thank thee for such death, and die."
