Excerpt from Fringilla: Some Tales in Verse
Perhaps it would have been wiser still to have shut up his little mandible, or employed itonly upon grub. But the long gnaw of last winter's frost, which set mankind a-shivering, even in their most downy nest, has made them kindly to the race that has no roof for shelter and no hearth for warmth.
Anyhow, this little finch can do no harm, if he does no good; and if he pleases nobody, he will not be surprised, because he has never satisfied himself.
