The Spider and the FlyŞiir
"Will you walk into my parlor?"
said the spider to the fly,
"Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy:
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show you when you are there."
"Oh, no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up to your winsing stair can ne'er come down again."
"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly.
"There are pretty curtains drawn around: the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest a while, I'll snugly tuck you in!"
"Oh, no, no," said the Fly, "for I've often heard it said,
They never, ever wake again, who sleeps upon your bed!"
Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, "Dear friend, what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I've always felt for you?
I have whitin my pantry, good store of all that's nice:
I'm sure you're very welcome- will you please to take a slice?"
"Oh, no, no," said the Fly, "kind sir, that cannot be,
I've heard what's in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!"
"Sweet creature," said the Spider, "you're witty and you're wise,
How handsome is your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I have a little looking-glass upon my parlor shelf,
If you'd step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself."
