* Kirby and Spence, Introduct. Entom. Vol. I. P. 258. THE LADY-BIRD. 51 Sir John. Poor harmless thing ! Save it Cecilia. I would not hurt it for the world ; Its prettiness says, Spare me ; and it bears Armour so beautiful upon his back, I could not injure it to be a queen : Look, sir, its coat is scarlet dropp'd with jet, Its eyes pure ivory. Sir John. Child, I am blind To objects so minute : I know it well ; 'Tis the companion of the waning year, And lives among the blossoms of the hop ; It ha...s fine silken wings enfolded close Under that coat of mail. Cecilia. I see them, sir, For it unfurls them now 'tis up and gone. Act 1. Sc. 3. Southey, also, in his lines addressed to this insect under the name of " The Burnie-Bee, " has thus elegantly described it : x 2 52 THE LADY-BIRD. Back o'er thy shoulders throw thy ruby shards, "With many a tiny coal-black freckle deck'd ; My watchful eye thy loitering saunter guards, My ready hand thy footsteps shall protect. So shall the fairy train, by glowworm light, With rainbow tints thy folding pennons fret, Thy scaly breast in deeper azure dight, Thy burnish'd armour deck with glossier jet.
