"Up children up, to swarm prepare" 



"The honey thief sits stinking there." 



"And we who Ioto the scent of roses" 



"Have stale tobacco in our noses." 



"We toil, we sweat from early May" 



"To lay up for a rainy day." 



"Our cells we fill, and at the Pall" 



"He sulphers us, and takes it all." 



"So let us one and all deride" 



"This honey thief, this Bee-i-cide." 



"Up children, up! to swarm prepare" 



"Whilst Master DuU sits snoring there." 



"A devil he, upon my troth :" 



"Buzz! buzz! Hum! Hum! The swarm is off!"
