Chapter 16 ah, lapwing

O lapwing, you fly round the wild heather Can't see the net cast under you Why don't you fly over the wheat fields? One cannot cast a net in a fertile field O lapwing thou fleest around the heath, Nor seek the net that is spread beneath, Why dost thou not fly among the corn fields? They cannot spread nets where a harvest yields.
