• Ever eating, never cloying,
    All-devouring, all-destroying,
    Never finding full repast
    Till I eat the world at last.

  • We are little airy creatures,
    All of different voice and features;
    One of us in glass is set,
    One of us you ’ll find in jet,
    T’other you may see in tin,
    And the fourth a box within;
    If the fifth you should pursue,
    It can never fly from you.
