    VIII
    While the bee sung around this I continued to ditty,
    Translators I know may be wrong,
    Be that as it may the poor mourner I pity,
    My heart beat the time while it sung,
    Each 10th of July that I live for to see,
    Shall be kept in grave pomp and solemnity,
    In silence I'll sigh when I see the lone bee,
    When summer comes smiling again.
