A JINGLE. By Isabel Frances Bellows. I. Said the BumblebeeTo the Wicked Flea, If you keep on long this way,You 11 certainly comeTo make your homeIn the county jaisome day ! … 111. When out came the Gnat, In a shiny hat,With a whip of barley straw ; And in awful tones He threatened their bonesWith the majesty of the law. IV. And the BumblebeeAnd the Wicked Flea Shivered with fear and dread ;And clasping each otherLike brother and brother, Precipitately fled !
