The way to know the bobolink

The Way to know the Bobolink
From every other Bird
Precisely as the Joy of him -
Obliged to be inferred.

Of impudent Habiliment
Attired to defy,
Impertinence subordinate a[^a1]
At times to Majesty -

[^a1: subordinate a | subordinate]

Of Sentiments seditious
Amenable to Law -
As Heresies of Transport
Or Puck's Apostacy -

Extrinsic to Attention
Too intimate with Joy -
He compliments Existence
Until allured away

By Seasons or his Children -
Adult and urgent grown -
Or unforeseen Aggrandizement
Or,possibly happily, Renown -

By Contrast certifying
The Bird of Birds is gone -
How nullified the Meadow -
Her Sorcerer withdrawn!
