Excerpt from Rural Rhymes, and the Sheep Thief
A Mosquito Song.
Cow-hunting in the woods one day,
I listened for the bell,
Holding my breath - when on ray ear
This song melodious fell.
"I am a bold mosquito,
And through the woods I fly;
So get I but a drink of blood,
I care not if I die.
"Creatures a thousand times as big
Do bring my food to me;
I, singing, light astride on them,
And grub it out in glee!
"Yet though these creatures bring my food
Unwillingly they give,
And oft I find it hard to get
The wherewithal to live.
