Mount upwards by this living ladder;
Sure never little lad was gladder.
Meanwhile John Dull, a spying round,
The self same honey tree had found;
Up to the fork himself he reared
When Bruin's ugly mug appeared.

Close to his tail did Braun alight;
And by Braun's heels Braun's parasite.

Just as himself was seized before;
