Poems from the works of Charles Cotton; newly decorated by Claud Lovat Fraser . Nyctimine now freed from day,From sullen Bush flies out to prey,And does with Feret note proclaimTh arrival of th usurping Dame. The Rail now cracks in Fields and Meads,Toads now forsake the Nettle-beds,The timrous Hare goes to wary men bolt out the Theef. The Fires new rakt, and Hearth swept clean,By Madg, the dirty Kitchin-Quean;The Safe is lockt, the Mouse-trap Leaven laid, and Bucking wet. Now in false Floors and Roofs lustful Cats make ill-tund Love,The Ban-dog on the Dunghil lies.
