Observe the insect race, ordained to keep

            The silent sabbath of a half year's sleep!

            Entom'd beneath the filmy web they lie

            And wait the influence of a kinder sky;

            When vernal sunbeams pierce the dark retreat,

            The heaving tomb distends with vital heat;

            The full formed brood, impatient of their cell,

            Start from their trance, and burst their silken shell.
