Belladonna supplies him with the poison ; but the base plot is overheard . by Brightray, the Genius of Spring and fri nd of the Butterflies, who tells them she will do all in her power to bailie the foul design. Brightriy repairs to the Butterfly's 'garden, where she pr mises protection to Silver. wings, satvs the Butterflies from the efforts of Master Robert and his companions to catch them, and gives permission to Silverwings to meet her lover, the Grasshopper. at their trysting place. Here the lovers are interrupted by the malice of their enemies, the Wasp and the Spider, who are put to rout by the bravery of the Grasshopper. The Wasp on his way to the feast, to which he has been invited, looks in at the kitchen of the Lady Silverwings, hoping to find an oppor tunity of poisoning al I the dishes intended for the banquet ; bat the cooks, seeing a wasp on their premises, make desperate 'efforts to catch him, hut in vain. After a severe chase, the Wasp escapes, but in the encounter breaks his bottle of poison. The trumpeter, Gadfly, calls all the guests to the feast by a blast of his trumpet, and the Flies and Insects and Animals proceed in procession to the grass green lawn be neath a broad oak, where the revels take place. The discom fited Wasp joins the festivities with his friend the Spider. much to their chagrin ; when, in the midst of their mirth, Belladonna appears, and demands of the Wasp the use he has made of the poison, who tells her of the fate of 'his bottle ; when the Witch immediately changes the beautiful summer landscape into a winter one, with leafless trees, frozen rivers, and falling snow. All the party become torpid and dead with cold ; but the good friend of the Butterflies, the Genius of Spring, appears, and with her warm rays revives the Flies and Insects, and, to secure them against the spite of their enemies, changes the Grasshopper into Harlequin, and the Butterfly into Columbine. The Witch sends the Wavy and the Spider in pursuit of them Its Clown and Pantaloon ; when, after many escapes and trials, the Butterfly and Grasshopper are united, and live happy ever after."
