Summary and explanations
Addressing a mosquito as a fellow being the poet begins by asking it questions. The questions are about the poet‘s amazement at the mosquito‘s weak legs, its weightless body and ability to trick its victim before biting. The poet is astonished at how the mosquito performs intricate movements in the air to lull its victim before biting him or her. Impressed by the mosquito, the poet describes its body movements and actions in detail and compares it with Winged Victory, a legendary ancient Greek statue.
The poet challenges the mosquito to a game of bluff. He expresses his dislike of the mosquito’s bad policy i.e. the buzzing sound it makes as if declaring victory. The mosquito draws first blood but becomes heavy with the blood it has sucked.
