Numberless wings in the moon's silver ray - "The Emperor's Rout"

Who flutter about without object or reason - "The Emperor's Rout"

I'll have at my feast a figure of death - "The Emperor's Rout"

The limited span that to moths is allotted - "The Emperor's Rout"

We are still in death's stern and inflexible power - "The Emperor's Rout"

Who by fraud or extortion would rise - "The Emperor's Rout"

Yielded to custom's imperious demand - "The Emperor's Rout"

The glow-worm being hired the highways to light - "The Emperor's Rout"


The Emperor's Rout is an 1831 picture book on Project Gutenberg. I didn't finish it because it was full of puns that I didn't get due to not knowing much of anything about moth species. The text is full of detailed, realistic illustrations of various moths.
