That hour arrived, his work begins.

He spins and weaves, and weaves and spins;

Till circle upon circle, wound

Careless around him and around,

Conceals him with a veil though slight,

Impervious to the keenest sight.

Thus self-inclosed, as in a cask,

At length he finishes his task:

And, though a worm when he was lost,

Or caterpillar at the most,
