Epigram 31: A Rope for Parrat

Why doth the Parrat cry a Rope, a rope,
Because he's cagde in prison out of hope.
Why doth the Parrat call a Boate, a Boate?
It is the humor of his idle note.
O prety Pall, take heede, beware the Cat,
(Let Watermen alone, no more of that.)
Since I so idly heard the Parrat talke,
In his owne language, I say, walke knaue walke.
