develop the little ant drama. A "solemn mortician" appears and with a comic gesture "with feelers calmly atwiddle,/Seizes the dead by the middle," hoists the carcass into the air, and "carries him out of there."
The speaker reports that no one comes to mourn the victim or even show some curiosity, even though the speaker had earlier reports that "ants are a curious race."
