THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
The flowers all do her homage, and 
With reverence strew her way, 
While grass, with tiny spears, mounts 
guard. 
In glorious array, 
Artillery of ten thousand throats 
That hitherto were mute. 
Sends forth to Echo far and wide 
A musical salute. 
Flushed with this pomp the glorious maid 
Retires before th’ advance 
Of young and lusty Summer, king 
Of all that laugh and dance. 
At such a time, when all is bright. 
And wintry scars are heal’d, 
The yellow ‘ Annual ’ sees advance 
A rival in the field. 
No trace of ill will or of hate 
The summer serial shows. 
But in whatever aspect viewed 
Is all couleur de rose. 
For entomologists to meet 
And spend a day together, 
Forget their feuds in fellowship 
’Mong trees, or grass, or heather. 
Then gather round the festive board, — 
The little and the great, — 
Where every guest feels quite at ease — 
Is Saunders’ “ Annual 
And so we pray that long may last 
Such rivals in good cheer. 
And we as long may live to greet 
Two “ Annuals ” in the year.
