* According to Ptolemy, fwallows return to Egypt about the latter end of January.

From morn 'till eve, 'tis mufic all around;

Nor doft thou, Philomel, disdain to join,
Even in the mid-day glare, and aid the quire.
But thy fweet fong calls for an hour apart,
When folemn Night beneath his canopy,
Enrich'd with ftars, by Silence and by Sleep
Attended, fits and nods in awful state;
Or when the Moon in her refulgent car,
Triumphant rides amidft the filver clouds,
Tinging them as the paffes, and with rays
Of mildeft luftre gilds the fcene below;

While zephyrs bland breathe thro' the thickening fhade
With breath fo gentle, and fo foft, that e'en
The poplar's trembling leaf forgets to move,
And mimic with its found the vernal shower;
Then let me fit, and liften to thy ftrains, &c.

The black cap is a very fine finging bird, and is by fome in Norfolk called the mock nightingale. Whether it be a bird of paffage I cannot fay.

I have fome doubt whether this bird be the Sylvia of the Linnæus, though the defcription feems to answer to Ray's, and to one of my own, which I find among my papers.
