From thence he ran into a hive:

Amongst the bees he letteth drive,

And down their combs begins to rive,

All likely to have spoiled,

Which with their wax his face besmeared,

And with their honey daubed his beard:

It would have made a man afeared

To see how he was moiled.

A new adventure him betides;

He met an Ant, which he bestrides,
