Oxford Book of English Verse, Part 2 by  Arthur Quiller-Couch

Fairy Land IV

Where the bee sucks, there suck I:

In a cowslip's bell I lie;

There I couch when owls do cry.

On the bat's back I do fly

After summer merrily:

Merrily, merrily, shall I live now,

Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

— William Shakespeare
1564-1616
