Laura. The Toyes of a Traveller. Or. The Feast of Fancie - Part 3, 10

Phoebus had once a Bird, (his chiefe delight)
Which (onely cause he had an evill tung)
He made him blacke, who was before most white:
So if all those who lovers true have stung
With spitefull speach, and have their loves betraid,
Or to their ladies false bee and untrue,
(Setting at nought the promise they have made)
Love would but change into this cole-blacke hieu:
Thousands abroad like sea-cole Crowes should show,
Who (now unknowen) for snowie Swannes doo goe.
