With humble sute did them aboard,
They would thereof him Alms afford.
The Ants ask't, what in Summer hee
Had don? or why past slothfully?
The Grashopper replied; hee then
Sung cheerfully to passing Men,
To take from Them the dull delaie,
And tedious travel of the waie.
Which heard, the smiling Ants repli'd;
Their Suters follie to deride.
Since thou in Songs hast Summer spent,
For Passenger's Divertisement:
In dancing now thy Limbs unfold,
Least thou bee starved with the cold.
