Subject: RE: who's the fool now
Does anyone know where the dragonfly verse come from (I think I do but I don't know for sure):

I saw a butterfly flutter by,
Fie, man, fie!
I saw a butterfly flutter by,
Who's the fool now?
I saw a butterfly flutter by,
Saw a dragonfly drink a flagon dry;
Thou has well drunken and who's the fool now!
