The Pitcher Plant; The Fly‑catcher + 

The Pitcher Plant we may define, + 

The flower of the base‑ball nine; + 

This name perhaps the plant belies, + 

For Pitcher Plants sometimes catch flies; + 

The “Fly”-Catcher we educate + 

To firmly stand behind the plate, + 

To stop, and treat with circumspection, + 

Whatever comes in his direction. + 
