Dove


The dove returning bore the mark Of earth restored to the long labouring ark; The relics of mankind, secure of rest, Oped every window to receive the guest, And the fair bearer of the message bless’d. Dryden.—To Her Grace of Ormond, Line 70.	1
The dove was twice employ’d abroad, before The world was dried, and she return’d no more. Dryden.—To Her Grace of Ormond, Line 99.	2
