Autoplay

That which stays within,
As modest self-pride is seen;
And what overflows,
What, in the name of noise goes,
As conceit one knows.

Birds both of the same feather,
When face same weather,
One's sure, dithers whilst the ‘ther.

I know you sing so well,
But not know why all this show,
A shy little nightingale
To a peacock in full flow,
I heard this to tell.
