But a cuss has found its way to
Fields of corn—the Hessian Fly.
Unde derivatur "Hessian"?
Named from whence the fly had flown,
Under quite a wrong impression,
No such thing in Hesse's known.
Cecidomyia destructor,
(What long names have little things!)
Comes o'er Ocean by conductor;
Straw, pestiferous, pupæ, brings.
