Methinks my neighbour’s dog that barks at me/And his own tongue that doggedly doth rail/Is all alike, I can no difference see -/Both with confused noises my ears assail”

Today is #WorldSoilDay and I am thinking about that EM gardening text I read which said burying onions and garlic would keep moles away.
In reality, of course, the moles were likely underground making bolognese with the ingredients delivered to their door.

Neither an early modern animal nor a writer but "a real handsome man" is absolutely sending me today. Howling.

Imagine being Mr Pulter, like
Dearest wife, how goes the poetry?
Ok so there is a LARK & the LARK's NEST gets CHOPPED IN HALF by a mower & some of the CHICKS get CHOPPED IN HALF & others get BEHEADED and 1 CHICK gets MUTILATED but SURVIVES & is then DRAGGED ABOUT by the mower's son and then DIES.

This is a later version, 1670, of a print originally made around 1642-1646 to advertise the performances of the elephant 'Hansken' which was drawn by Rembrandt around 1637. (British Museum)
