These are the Nights that Beetles love --
From Eminence remote
Drives ponderous perpendicular
This[^a1]His figure intimate
The transport[^a2]terror of the Children
The jeopardy[^a3]merriment of men
Depositing his Thunder

Conjecture flourishing --
Too dear the Summer evening
Without discreet alarm --
Supplied by Entomology
With a[^a5]it's remaining charm
