Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Choice Emblems, Natural, Historical, Fabulous, Moral, and Divine
I learn my duty from the Dove The Hen, who from the chilly air, With pious wing proteéts her care, And every fowl that ?ies at large, Inftruét me in a parent's charge. Do not we juft abhorrence find Againft the Toad and Serpent kind But Envy, Calumny, and Spite, Bear fironger venom in their bite. Thus every objec't of creation, Can furnifh hints for contemplation And from the moft minute and mean, A Virtuous Mind can Marals glean.
