Where the Bee Sucks

By William Shakespeare (1564–1616)


From “The Tempest,” Act V. Scene 1 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:	5
Merrily, merrily, shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
