"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, | |||
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; | |||
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, | |||
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there." | |||
"''Oh no, no,''" said the little Fly, "''to ask me is in vain,'' | |||
''For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again.''" | |||

"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high; | |||
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly. | |||
"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin, | |||
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!" | |||
"''Oh no, no,''" said the little Fly, "''for I've often heard it said,'' | |||
''They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!''" | |||
