* The complete selection for dictation from Arabella Buckley's Life and Her Children:
pg 201:
Yet hark! how through the peopled air
The busy murmur glows,
The insect youth are on the wing,
Eager to taste the honeyed spring
And float amid the liquid noon.
Some lightly o'er the current skim;
Some show their gaily gilded trim,
Quick glancing to the sun.
pg 215: The crickets, on the other hand, will not be seen in the daytime, for they hide in holes in the ground till night falls, and then come out for food and enjoyment. The only way to entice one out by day is to tickle the hole with a straw, when they will seize it, and so can be pulled out.
