ROBERT WILDE (WILD OR WYLDE)
English divine and poet
(1609 - 1679)

Winged mimic of the woods! thou motley fool!
  Who shall thy gay buffoonery describe?
    Thine ever-ready notes of ridicule
      Pursue thy fellows still with jest and jibe:
        Wit, sophist, songster, Yorick of thy tribe;
          Thou sportive satirist of Nature's school;
            To thee the palm of scoffing we ascribe,
              Arch-mocker and mad abbot of misrule!
      - Sonnet--To the Mocking-Bird [Mockingbirds]
