THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
For insects all had learned the plan 
For ravaging their race, 
And over many miles of ground 
Scarce one would show his face. 
Yet though they coyly hid themselves 
In holes and chinks and grass, 
Until the reeonnoiterers 
By their retreats should pass, 
And so they mostly managed thus 
To keep themselves from harm, 
It happened that each visitor 
Received reception warm ; 
For never was there greater heat 
Evolved from solar ray 
Thau fell upon the luckless heads 
Of our good friends that day. 
At Wanham Park, at one o’clock, 
Beneath the leafy trees, 
The muster roll was called, and lo! 
They also mustered cheese. 
And as the panting multitude 
Were literally baked, 
Beer, wine and soda water ran 
Until their thirst was slaked. 
Then for three mortal hours again 
They through the country ranged, 
When white heat in the Reigate fields 
For “ White Hart” was exchanged. 
The party had been reinforced, 
And fifty round the board 
Sat down, and with the good cheer there 
Their failing strength restored. 
What though the captures had been few, 
The intercourse of friends 
Both out of doors and in, all felt, 
Did more than make amends. 
Then for the founder of the feast 
W e cheer with three times three, 
And if such gathering comes again 
May vve be there to see.
