CALL for the Robin-Redbrestand the wren, Since o'er shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flowers do cover The friendless bodies of unburied men. Call unto his funeral dole The ant, the field-mouse, and the mole, To rear him hillocks that shall keep him warm, And (when gay tombs are robbed) sustain no harm; But keep the wolf far thence, that's foe to men, For with his nails he'll dig them up again.

=Summary=

Call for the Robin-redbrest and other birds with the leaves and flowers that hide. The bodies of unburied men call their charity funeral with hills and animals to keep them warm cause no harm to those bodies that keeps the wolf far from them because the wolf is their enermy.
