 Between two cockels stew'd, Is meat that's easily chew'd; Brains of worms, and marrow of mice, Do make a feast that's wond'rous nice.

The grasshopper, gnat, and fly, Serve for our minstrelly; Grace said, we dance a while, And so the time beguile: But if the moon doth hide her head, The glow-worm lights us home to bed.

O'er tops of dewy grass, So nimbly we do pass, The young and tender stalk Ne'er bends where we do walk; Yet in the morning may be seen Where we the night before have been.
