THE SPIDER AND THE FLY.
“Will you walk into my parlour?” said a spider to a fly,
“’Tis the prettiest little parlour, sure, that ever you did spy;
You’ve only got to pop your head within side of the door,
You’ll see so many curious things you never saw before,
Will you walk in pretty fly?”
“My house is always open,” says the spider to the fly,
“I’m glad to have the company of all I see go by;”
“They go in, but don’t come out again—I’ve heard of you before;”
“Oh yes, they do, I always let them out at my back door.
