A Midnight Mentor.

I'm sober old mosquito.
Of a grave, reflective mind.
And / travel less for pleasure
Than to benefit nv kind.
There's deal Of information
Can be gathered in the night,
If one takes to business calmly,
And knows when and where to-bite.
Dire and dreadful are the perils
In tho rash mosquitoes way;
Swift and sudden is the vengeance
That awaits him. night and day.
But. by stunning all the dangers
That may nip him in the bud,
He may feast for full a season
On the very best of blood
There are nets that may defy him;
But he must not be defed
There are lights pu. forth to lure him;
Bot he need not turn aside.
But. as wise and wary warriers
Watch, with sword, aud spur. and
lance,
He must take good position.
And then calculate his chance.
| have tasted such a nectar
AS the gods mi ght stoop to sip!
1t was drawn without murmur,
From sleeping beauty's lip,
| have braved the fercest vengeance
That mothers love can wreak.
And feasted for nighttime
On her baby's downy cheek.
l have supped upon lawyer
He was rather hard aud tough
l have dined upon hero
He was rare. but rather rough,
Once / ventured on statesman;
But his skin defied my skill.
Twas a skin where no mosquito
Would dare introduce bill
I have tried the hearts of lovers
II was diet rather light
have tried the brows of poets,
And they were not worth bite.
have tried-my friends. remember,
This is underneath the rose
But the best mosquito venture
Is a jolly fellows nose!
