So, stooping down from hawthorn top,
He thought to put him in his crop,
The worm , ware of his intent,
Harangued him thus , right eloquent
“Did you admire my lamp,” quit he,
“As much as I your minstrelsy”?
You would abhor to do me wrong,
As much as I to spoil your song;

bent down from the hill-top and though of
putting the glow worm in his beak and
eating him up. The glow worm was very
well aware of nightingale intension of eating

great wisdom to the nightingale. Glow worm

worm light. He says that he has all praise for
nightingales song but does nightingale also
praise his glow. so, You should also hate to
harm me because I also don’t like to do any

shining respectively.

• Might beautify and cheer the night.”
• The songster heard his short oration.
• And warbling out his approbation ,
• Released him, as my story tells,
• And found a supper somewhere else.

• The above lines tell us that we both beautify the
world you cheer the world with your song and I
beautify the might with my light . So, we
