Cicada. This creature with its song silences the cuckoo. It dies in oil and revives in vinegar. It sings during the burning heat.

Bat. This creature, where there is more light, the more it goes blind; and the more it looks at the sun, the more it is blinded.

For the vice that cannot abide where virtue is.

Partridge. This creature transforms from female to male and forgets its first sex; and out of envy it steals the eggs of others and broods them, but the hatchlings follow their true mother.

Swallow. This creature, with celandine, gives sight to its blind young.
