Verſe 5. Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?] Shall he make thee ſport, as thoſe poor birds that ſerve as paſtime for little children? Or as the fooliſh Emperor Honorius, delighted in his bird Roma (ſo he called it) at the loſſe whereof, when the City was taken by the Vandals, he grieved more, then at all the reſt? I [illegible: 1 letter]diguum ſanè, regem aves praeferre viribus, ſaith the Divine Chronologer.
Wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?] Shall your daughters tye him with a thred. which lengthning or ſtraightning at their diſcretion ſhall make his priſon either larger on ſtraiter?Sena.
