"Where the bee sucks, there lurk I"

I started singing Ariel's song from The Tempest (music by Thomas 
Arne) as soon as I saw this bumble bee, sleeping peacefully on 
the daffodil.  We learnt it at school, many years ago, and I've always 
remembered it!

Where the bee sucks, there lurk I:
In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly
After sunset merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
