The airy Ant syne tumed awa. And left him wi' a proud gafTa. The Caterpillar was struck dumb, And never answered her a mum; The humble reptile fand some pain, Thus to be banter'd wi' disdain. But tent neist time the Ant came by. The worm was grown a Butterfly; Transparent were his wings and fair, Which bare him flight'ring through the air. Upon a flower he stapt his flight, And thinking on his former slight. Thus to the Ant himself addrest: * Pray, Madam, will ye please to rest? And notice what I now advise: Inferiors ne'er too much despise, For fortune may gie sic a turn. To raise aboon ye what ye scorn: For instance, now I spread my wing In air, while you 're a creeping thing.'" Allan 7EKc«U«A«l- â B 5>7.
