Book II, 87: On the Kite

Marke but the soaring Kite; and she will reade
Brave rules for Diet; teach thee how to feede;
She flyes aloft; She spreads her ayrie plumes
Above the reach, above the nauious umes
Of dang'rous earth; She makes her selfe a stranger
T'inferiour things, and checks at ev'ry danger;
At length, she stoopes; and, with a brave disdaine,
She strikes her prey, and mounts her up againe;
By her example, learne to use the earth,
And thou shalt find lesse mischiefe, and m mirth.
