ShakespeareThe Phœnix and the TurtlebyWilliam ShakespeareLet the bird of loudest lay,On the sole Arabian tree,Herald sad and trumpet be,To whose sound chaste wings obey.But thou shrieking harbinger,Foul precurrer of the fiend,Augur of the fever’s end,To this troop come thou not near.From this session interdictEvery foul of tyrant wing,Save the eagle feather’d king:Keep the obsequy so strict.Let the priest in surplice white,That defunctive music can,Be the death-divining swan,Lest the requiem lack his right.3
