And when the little birds are able to fly, the poet thus proceeds,--

“But now the feather’d youth their former bounds

Ardent, disdain, and weighing oft their wings

Demand the free possession of the sky:

This one glad office more, and then dissolves

Parental love at once, now needless grown,--

Unlavish wisdom never works in vain.”
