"To frame the little animal, provide 

 All the gay hues that wait on female pride ; 

 Let Nature guide thee; sometimes goldin wire 

 The shining bellies of the fly require ; 

 The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail. 

 Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail. 

 Each gaudy bird some tender tribute bring-s, 

 And lends the growing insect proper wings: 

 Silks of all colors must their aid impart, 

 And every fur promote the fishers art."
