"Bless us! if you should take a vagary and make a rash resolution on your wedding night, to die a maid, as she did;

"Go on with the list."
Alice looked at the Rocking-horse-fly with great interest, and made up her mind that it must have been just repainted, 
it looked so bright and sticky; and then she went on.
"And there's the Dragon-fly."
"Look on the branch above your head," said the Gnat, "and there you'll find a Snap-dragon-fly. Its body is made of 
plum-pudding, its wings of hollyleaves, and its head is a raisin burning in brandy."
"And what does it live on?" Alice asked, as before.
"Frumenty and mince-pie," the Gnat replied; "and it makes its nest in a Christmas-box."
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, Chapter III. Looking-Glass Insects, 1871.
