THE GRASSHOPPER.
This silences the cuckoo with its song. It dies in oil and revives
in vinegar. It sings in the greatest heats
THE BAT.
The more light there is the blinder this creature becomes; as those
who gaze most at the sun become most dazzled.--For Vice, that cannot
remain where Virtue appears.
THE PARTRIDGE.

THE SWALLOW.
This bird gives sight to its blind young ones by means of celandine.
