How large unto the tiny fly,
Must little thing appear!
A rose bud like a feather bed,
Its prickle like a spear.
A dewdrop like a looking-glass,
A hair like a golden wire,
The smallest grain of mustard and seed,
As fierce as coals of fire.
A loaf of bread, a lofty hill,
A wasp, a cruel leopard,
And speaks of salt bright to see,
As lambkins to a shepherd.
