THE

FINIS.

For the soul of the Banquet the Butterfly’s dead

And the Graſshopper mourns for the loſs of his friend

And hark! to the funeral dirge of the Bee &c.

The Mole is preparing the Butterfly’s grave

The corse was embalmed at the set of the Sun &c.

And ſix of their numbers ſupported the Pall

The Dormouse attended but cold & forlorn &c.

Bent over her body and silently kist her

The Grub left his nutſhell to join the sad throng

And wrote these few lines to be plac’d on his tomb

EPITAPHTO THEMEMORY OF PAPILLON.

THE POEM AND DESIGNS BY A LADY.

The above Juvenile Work has met with a Reception from a liberal Public, beyond the Publisher’s most sanguine expectations—Those who have not inspected it, are most respectfully informed, that independent of the Poem, it will be found otherwise acceptable, as the ten accompanying Designs are chaste Patterns for the Exercise of the Young Artist’s Pencil.

Transcriber’s Notes:

The cover of the original book is almost a facsimile of the title page, except that instead of

A SEQUEL TO THE BUTTERFLY’s BALL and GRASSHOPPER’s FEAST

it has the more explicit

INTENDED AS A SEQUEL TO THE BUTTERFLY’s BALL and GRASSHOPPER’s FEAST BY MR. ROSCOE.

Inconsistent hyphenation (nut-shell/nutshell) has been retained.

Transcriber’s notes in text—mostly detailing corrections—are indicated by faint dotted underlining. Scroll the mouse over the word and the note will appear.
