In Act V, scene i of The Tempest, Ariel, who will soon be given his freedom by Prospero, sings this song:
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.
