Buz, quoth the blue fly
The following catch is found in Ben Jonson's 'Masque of Oberon,' and is a most common nursery song at the present day.
“Buz, quoth the blue fly,
Hum, quoth the bee,
Buz and hum they cry,
And so do we:
In his ear, in his nose,
Thus, do you see?
He ate the dormouse,
Else it was he.”
