These I do not eall, I do not beckon. 
Which then do you call, do you beckon ? 
Those which lay and hatch to perfection, 
Which are clean of breast and heart. 
Whose discourse compels assent,

The palms of whose hands are lucky, 
Which sleep and have good dreams.

When men quarrel they may rebuke them ; 
When men strive they may cool the fiery spirit.

Never be fruitless, never be barren, 
Never be disappointed, never be ashamed,

favoured by the birds named: and the variation of the names of the birds is 
probably to be accounted for by the fact: that the same birds are called by 
different names,
