Silkworms have dressed the fairest women,
  Glowworms have their own starry climes;
Straight from his breakfast on a worm,
  The bird begins his morning chimes.
      Maggots, so fat and short,
      Tapeworms, so thin and long:
        'All these are able' -
Say Anglers, when they speak the truth -
'To fill a bowl with fish for some man's table.'
