A Robin Redbreast in a CagePuts all Heaven in a Rage.A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeons Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions. A Dog starv’d at his Master’s GatePredicts the ruin of the State.A Horse misus’d upon the RoadCalls to Heaven for Human blood. Each outcry of the hunted HareA fiber from the Brain does tear. William Blake
