Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 240
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 ! … Said the Wicked Flea To the Bumblebee,You re a fat old meddlingthing ! And if you will fight With me to-night,Two pistols I will bring.
