 BUTTERFLY'S BALL 
 
 The trumpeter Gad-fly, 
 Has summoned the crew; 
 
 And the revels are now 
 Only waiting- for yon. 
 
*r 
 
 On the smooth-shaven grass, 
 
 By the side of a wood, 
 Beneath a broad oak. 
 
 Which for aires had stood. 
 
L 
 

 
 See the children of earth, 
 And the tenants of air, 
 
 To an evening's amusement, 
 Together repair. 
 
And there came the Beetle, 
 
 So blind and so black, 
 And carried the Emmet, 
 
 His friend, on his back. 
 
k

 And there came the Gnat, 
 And the Dragon-fly too, 
 And all their relations — 
 
 Green, orange, and blue. 
 

 And there came the Moth, 
 With her plumage of down; 
 
 And the Hornet, with jacket 
 Of yellow and brown: 
 

 Who with hiiu the Wasp, 
 
 His companion, did bring; 
 But they promised that even- 
 
 ing;, 
 
 To lay by their sting, 
 
ID 
 
 The sly little Dormouse 
 Peeped out of the hole, 
 
 And led to the feast 
 
 His blind cousin, the Mole. 
 

•>«> 
 
 And the Snail with her horns, 
 
 Peeping out of a shell, 
 
 Came fatigued with the dist- 
 ance, 
 
 The length of an ell. 
 
23 
 
 A Mushroom the table, 
 And in it was spread 
 
 A Water-dock leaf, 
 
 Which their table-cloth 
 made.

 he viands were various, 
 To each of their taste; 
 And the Bee brought the 
 honey, 
 
 To sweeten the least. 
 
•>■ 
 
 
 With steps most majestic. 
 The Snail did advance, 
 And he promised the gazers 
 
 A minuet to dance.

 But they ail laughed so loud. 
 That he drew in his head, 
 And went into his own 
 
 Little eh amber to bed.

 Then, as evening gave way 
 To the shadows of night, 
 Their watchman, the Glow-worm, 
 
 Came out with his light. 
 So home let us hasten, 
 
 While vet we ean sec; 
 For no watchman is waiting 
 
 For vou or for me.
