 about him is a paradise, full of greenness and

 shower their music down upon him from every

Flies. From the 1st to the 24th the green 

 drake and stone fly ; from the 12th to the 24th 

 the gray drake and the owl fly, late at night ; a 

 purple hackle, a gold twist hackle, a flesh fly, 

 the peacock fly, the ant fly, a brown gnat, a 

 little black gnat, a grasshopper.
