And what, Bumble-Bee, - In all the wide world can you say unto me? - And surely a Caterpillar never has read? - With green leaves for books, he would eat them instead; - While neither a Moth nor a Spider could tell - How a pen should be held, or correctly could spell. - And as for poor Snailey,--it's more than absurd, - He never could read a one-syllable word! - But I've heard of the School Board, and now it's appalling - To think that a Moth or a Snail may be calling - And telling me too, as their little eyes glisten, - Their funny wee lessons, if only I'll listen. - - * * * * * - - Yes! they talk in a language that all is their own, - And here into English you'll find it has grown; - Where pictures will shew, and the rhymes they will say, - How Insects can work, talk, and laugh, and be gay. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: INTRODUCTION] - - - - -COMIC INSECTS. - - - How queer a procession is passing this way, - Of insects all talking; come, hear what they say! - The sight is as strange as their words they are true, - And you'll laugh as they offer their lessons to you. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: "_Led astray._"] - - - - -THE CATERPILLAR. - - - I'M a Caterpillar green, - Not the prettiest you have seen, - And my Chrysalis I enter rather loth; - Though I know that in the spring - I shall rise on feathered wing - In the costume of a fascinating Moth. - -[Illustration: "_I'm a Caterpillar green._"] - - Little likeness you will spy, - With the cleverest little eye, - 'Twixt your green-coated friend of to-day - And the airy form that sails - When the golden sunlight pales, - And the owl flies abroad for his prey. - -[Illustration: "_And my Chrysalis I enter rather loth._"] - - Yet the same we are indeed, - Though the riddle's hard to read, - One, the Moth and the Caterpillar green; - And still stranger things than this, - Which no little one should miss, - In the Picture Book of Nature can be seen. - -[Illustration: "_If you'll only deign to lend your ear._"] - - So I think, my little friend, - If you'll only deign to lend - Your ear to these few words that I say, - Ne'er again will you rely - For convictions on the eye, - As appearances have often led astray. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: "_Oh, what a beautiful Moth am I._"] - - - - -THE MOTH. - - - OH, what a beautiful Moth am I! - Colours so gay, and sparkling each eye, - Nobody ever would guess, I ween, - I once was a Caterpillar all in green. - -[Illustration: "_With silver and gold I have decked me too._"] - - I've taken me feathers of brightest hue, - With silver and gold I have decked me too: - No, no! you never would guess, I ween, - I once was a Caterpillar all in green. - - With a tardy foot no longer I crawl - 'Neath the shady leaves, or on ivied wall; - But, joyously floating in airy height, - I wander abroad in the pale moonlight; - -[Illustration: "_I wander abroad in the pale moonlight._"] - - Or join the Elves as they dance and sing - In the circle green of the fairy ring, - Or tease a poor Daisy that's trying to keep - Its big yellow eye from my curious peep. - -[Illustration: "_Want of discretion._"] - - But sometimes I fly to a treacherous light, - That mimics a star in a darkling night; - And too late I learn, with my poor singed wings, - The evil that want of discretion oft brings. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: "_How very pale._"] - - - - -THE SNAIL. - - - POOR little Snail, - How very pale, - Your cheek is blanched with fear! - What horrid dread - Has made you shed - So many a slimy tear? - - Come! faster crawl - Along the wall, - Leave care behind,--all's well! - That seeming pack - Upon your back - Is near an empty shell. - -[Illustration: "_Leave care behind._"] - - Come! smile again, - And let the rain - Of tears at once be dry; - Faint-hearted quite, - And far from right, - Before you're hurt to cry. - - No one will doubt - Who thinks about - This great world spinning round, - That all have hours - When sorrow's showers - Make April all around. - -[Illustration: - - "_That seeming pack - Upon your back - Is near an empty shell._"] - - But May and June - Follow full soon, - And joy succeeds to sorrow; - So dry the tear, - And from the year - Your cheering lesson borrow. - -[Illustration: "_Ah, Snailey! see._"] - - Ah, Snailey! see - To you and me - Our burdens oft appear - Much heavier far - Than what they are, - When we give way to fear. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: - - "_Buz! buz! buz! - Over blossoms heavy laden._"] - - - - -THE BEE. - - - BUZ! buz! buz! - Over blossoms heavy laden with their treasures; - Hear its music as it rifles - From the flowers their seeming trifles; - We may watch it in the sunshine at our leisure. - -[Illustration: "_Hearty toil._"] - - See! their secrets it espying - In their tinted depths while prying, - As it works thro' the long summer day; - "Be in earnest in your quest, - Hearty toil brings well-earned rest," - Seems the burden of its light-hearted lay. - -[Illustration: "_Well-earned rest._"] - - Lessons here of self-reliance, - And "defence but not defiance," - As Volunteers are taught by the Bee. - As it works on active wing, - Self-protected with its sting, - 'Tis a grand working model, good to see; - -[Illustration: "_. . . Its music as it rifles._"] - - Pointing out how each is sharing - In the common task, and bearing - His just portion; where no idler is seen: - All are busy in the hive - Where these happy workmen thrive, - And they're loyal, every one, to their Queen. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: "_This poor Black-Beetle's ill!_"] - - - - -THE BLACK-BEETLE. - - - OH, dear! Oh, dear! - I sadly fear - This poor Black-Beetle's ill; - And to him now - No use, I trow, - Is the cleverest doctor's skill. - -[Illustration: - - "_No medical sage - His pain can assuage._"] - - No medical sage - His pain can assuage. - You can see at a glance how bad - He's made himself, - All thro' his pelf: - Isn't it dreadfully sad? - -[Illustration: "_When the cook was asleep._"] - - For wandering wide - On the floor he spied, - Last night when the cook was asleep, - And rejoiced to find - Some cucumber rind, - And now no more he will creep! - -[Illustration: "_Cucumber at night._"] - - Yes! sad though it be, - This little "B-B" - Would follow his own appetite; - He could never say "no," - When it tempted him; so - His epitaph is, "Serve him right!" - - And thus tearfull-ee, - He begs you and me - His case as a warning to mind; - Cucumber at night - To regard with affright, - And never to eat up the rind. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: "_Spiders,--heugh!_"] - - - - -THE SPIDER. - - - SP . . . I . . . DERS,--heugh! - Horrible forms that creep and crawl, - And hang their webs from ceiling and wall! - -[Illustration: "_As they joy in the breeze._"] - - From leaf and fern as they joy in the breeze, - From moss-grown arch and ivy-clad trees, - And catch the flies--the poor little things-- - That carelessly use their gossamer wings. - -[Illustration: "_Their beautiful nets._"] - - It makes one shudder to think of the fate - That giddy bluebottles and gnats may await. - Yet wonder we must, as we watch them spread - Their beautiful nets with their silken thread; - -[Illustration: - - "_It makes me shudder to think of the fate - That giddy blue-bottles and gnats may await._"] - - And happier feel at the sign of that Power - That guides each to weave such a fairy-like bower; - And think of that Hand, that no eye can see, - Which fashioned these Insects, and made you and me. - -[Illustration] - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Comic Insects, by F.
