In Memory of Nina, Duchess of Hamilton

0 CREATURES resident on earth with Man,

Count us your enemies. I fear you must. We slaughter you or mould you to our plan.

All you can say of us, alas, is just.

But there was one among us, cnce your friend. With your wild voices all the woodlands through, Her kindly labours being at an end, Mourn as she would have mourned for each of you.
