A bee his burnished carriage

A Bee his Burnished Car - riage[^a1]
Drove boldly to a Rose -
Combinedly alighting -
Himself - his Equipage.

[^a1: Car - riage | Carriage]

The Rose received his Visit
With frank tranquility,
Witholding not a Crescent
To his cupidity.

Their Moment consummated
Remained for him - to flee -
Remained for her, of Rapture
But the Humility.
