    The play is Cymbeline?, the ruddock was an old name for the redbreast

    Out-sweeten’d not thy breath: the ruddock would,
    With charitable bill,—o bill, sore shaming
    Those rich-left heirs that let their fathers lie
    Without a monument! bring thee all this;
    Yea, and furr’d moss besides, when flowers are none,
    To winter-ground thy corse."
