Folded cut-paper flower, divided into five openings, with text printed in orange ink. On the three openings across the middle are printed consecutive lines from The tempest (act 5, scene 1), sung by Ariel: "Where the bee sucks, there suck I. In a cowslip's bell I lie. There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat's back I do fly After summer merrily. Merrily, merrily shall I live now Under the blossom that hangs on the bough." The opening at top is captioned: "Ariel's song, D. Porteus '08"; the bottom: "Shakespeare, The Tempest." The flower is affixed to a sheet of heavy green paper, folded down the middle. - Subject Terms:
