_Fabulous Bird._--Among the many quaint and beautiful conceits in Fuller,

there is one preeminently fine: in which he likens the life-long remorse of

a man who has slain another in a duel to the condition of "a bird I have

read of, which hath a face like, and yet will prey upon, a man; who, coming

to the water to drink, and finding there, by reflection, that he had killed

one like himself, pineth away by degrees, and never afterwards enjoyeth

itself."

Where did Fuller read this story? I do not recollect it in Pliny.
