The Butterfly's Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast. Come, take up your hats, and away let us hasteTo the Butterfly's ball and the Grasshopper's feast;For the trumpeter Gadfly has summoned his crew, And the revels are now only waiting for you. On the smooth-shaven grass by the side of the wood, Beneath a broad oak that for ages has stood, See the children of earth, and the tenants of air, For an evening's amusement together repair. And there came the Beetle, so blind, and so black, Who carried the Emmet, his friend, on his back;And there came the Gnat, and the Dragonfly 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 him the Wasp, his companion, did bring-They promised that evening to lay by their sting. Then the sly little Dormouse peeped out of his hole, And led to the feast his blind cousin the Mole;And the Snail, with her horns peeping out from her shell, Came fatigued with the distance, the length of an ell. A Mushroom the table, and on it was spreadA Water-dock leaf, which their table-cloth made;The viands were various, to each of their taste, And the Bee brought the honey to sweeten the feast. With steps more majestic the Snail did advance, And he promised the gazers a minuet dance;But they all laughed so loudly, he pulled in his head, And went, in his own little chamber, 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 yet we can see, For no watchman is waiting for you or for me. Chapter Two. The Butterfly's Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast. Come, take up your hats, and away let us hasteTo the Butterfly's ball and the Grasshopper's feast;For the trumpeter Gadfly has summoned his crew, And the revels are now only waiting for you. On the smooth-shaven grass by the side of the wood, Beneath a broad oak that for ages has stood, See the children of earth, and the tenants of air, For an evening's amusement together repair. It was very early one delightful morning in summer, when the trumpeter Gadfly sounded his horn, inviting all the insects in the forest to the Butterfly's ball and the Grasshopper's feast. The sun shone brightly, the air was mild and soft, and the scent of the wild flowers delicious, so that not one of the insects thought of staying at home. Butterflies, Beetles, Bees, Wasps, Snails, Grasshoppers, Ants, all put on their best coats and frocks, all, put on their sweetest smiles, and all hurried off, in little bands, to the ball, talking and laughing, and humming and buzzing, by the way, as if they were the happiest creatures in the wide world. Even the old Beetle, that had been run over by a cart-wheel and squeezed nearly to death, got out of bed when he heard what was going on, and limped along with the rest, though he had been confined to the house for six months before. One or two Butterflies, that were never known to go out except in the very finest weather, -and even then, carefully wrapped up, -determi

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
