Nose of fly and gnat's proboscis,

Throng not the naked beauty!

Frogs and crickets in the mosses,

Keep time and do your duty!

WEATHERCOCK (toward one side)

What charming company I view

Together here collected!

Gay bachelors, a hopeful crew,

And brides so unaffected!

WEATHERCOCK (toward the other side)

Unless indeed the yawning ground

Should open to receive them,

From this vile crew, with sudden bound,

To Hell I'd jump and leave them.
