Samuel Love, M.A., one of the minor canons of Bristol Cathedral, on a robin redbreast, which had taken up its residence in the building, and was in the constant habit of accompanying the organ with its singing Sweet social bird! whose soft harmonious lays Here, gentle bird, a sure asylum find, Nor dread the chilling frost, nor boist'rous wind. Peace then, sweet warbler, to thy flutt'ring heart, To sing with holy zeal Jehovah's praise, Thou, perch'd on high, shalt hear th' adoring throng, Each tongue with music, and each heart with fire. For the long term of fifteen years the bird was regularly fed and cared for by the sub-sacrist, until 1787, when it is believed to have died.
