poke, my looks he read,
As if with anger burning;
No--not one word--away he sped,
Ah! would he were returning.

THE FOWLER--A SONG.
Altered from a German air, in the opera of "Die Zauberlote."

A CARELESS whistling lad am I,
On sky-lark wings my moments fly;
There's not a _Fowler_ more renown'd
In all the world--for ten miles round!
Ah! who like me can spread the net?
Or tune the merry flageolet?

Then why--O why should I repine,
Since all the roving birds are mine?
The thrush and linnet in the vale,
The sweet sequester'd nightingale,
The bulfinch, wren, and wood-lark, all
Obey my summons when I call:
O! could I form some cunning snare
To catch the coy, coquetting fair,
In _Cupid's_ filmy web so fine,
The pretty girls should all be mine!

When all were mine--among the rest,
I'd choose the Lass I lik'd the best;
And should my charming mate be kind;
And smile, and kiss me to my mind,
With her I'd tie the nuptial knot,
Make _Hymen's_ cage of my poor cot,
And love away this fleeting life,
Like Robin Redbreast and his wife!
