Quote #4
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for this sings he,
Cuckoo; (14-16)
The messenger in this one isn't a buddy coming to say he saw someone's wife doing a bump and grind at the maypole festival with some farmer from the next village. Nope. The messenger is a bird. This would be kind of Disney too, if the message weren't quite so, um, adult. In the end, this messenger from the animal kingdom represents another connection between the human and natural realms.
