qualis vicino volucris iam sedula partu iamque timens, qua fronde domum suspendat inanem; providet hic ventos, hic anxia cogitat angues, hic homines: tandem dubiae placet umbra, novisque vix stetit in ramis et protinus arbor amatur.
Even so a bird, near to giving birth, already careful, already afraid, wonders on what branch to hang her vacant house; here she foresees winds, here thinks anxiously of serpents, here of men; finally as she doubts, a shady place takes her fancy; scarce has she alighted on the stranger boughs and all at once she loves the tree.
