On a Bee,
that was swallowed, by a Lady, in a Glass of Wine.

Pretty! lost! advent'rous Bee!How pitiful thy case!
A world of wealth was offer'd thee,
But av'rice would not let thee see,
The charms in Celia's face.

But halting at her lips, for more,
Supply'd thyself with honied store,
From magazines of bliss.
