b The cocks began to crow, signaling that it was morning And then it started like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons. I have heard that is the trumpet to the morn, Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Awake the god of day, and, at his warning, Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, Th' extravagant and erring spirit hies To his confine, and of the truth herein This present object made probation.
