But, then, what eon eait. can you do, If the bird in your Laud flies away?

Or, suppose that your bird is an ow), Or an eagle, a hawk or a thrush ?— If tis beak of your hand should run foul, You would wish he’d remained in his bush.

Or, suppose you have got your bird home, Where cats as a rule do reside ?—-

The odds then, l reckon, are some, That hel} comfort a pussy’s inside,

Or your bird has a talent for song, Iuto which at wrong times he wiil rush ? You'll be apt to use language that’s strong, And still more wish he’d stopped inthe bush,

So I think that you'll all understand How a proverb too far you may push,

And conejude thata bird in the band, Is notalways worth two in the bush.
