He went away with a flea in 's ear.

Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know’st that this cannot be said
A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead,
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two,
And this, alas, is more than we would do.

Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, nay more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our mariage bed and mariage temple is;
Though parents grudge, and you, we are met,
And cloisterd in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to kill me,
Let not to that, self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.

Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it sucked from thee?
Yet thou triumph’st, and say'st that thou
Find’st not thy self, nor me the weaker now;
’Tis true; then learn how false, fears be:
Just so much honor, when thou yield’st to me,
Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.

Honey, Don't go shooting all the dogs 'cause one of them's got fleas

It sucked me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;

They went hunting lions/But a flea attacked them/And their hunters' passion/Narrowed to a flea.

And here’s the happy, bounding flea — </br> You cannot tell the he from she. </br> The sexes look alike, you see; </br> But she can tell, and so can he.

The flea, though he kill none, he does all the harm he can.

339. Hee that lies with the dogs riseth with fleas.

The Flea, terrified, whimpered in a weak little voice, “Oh, sir! pray let me go; don’t kill me! I am such a little thing that I can’t do you much harm.” But the Man laughed and said, “I am going to kill you now, at once: whatever is bad has got to be destroyed, no matter how slight the harm it does.” Do not waste your pity on a scamp.

Is that an ear trumpet in your lava-lava?

The sacred ape, now, children, see. </br> He's searching for the modest flea. </br> If he should turn around we'd find </br> He has no hair on his behind.

So, nat'ralists observe, a flea
Hath smaller fleas that on him prey,
And these have smaller still to bite 'em
And so proceed ad infinitum.

Ramsgate is full of Jews and fleas.

The place was infested with fleas.
Some claimed that this was down to Boris and Carrie’s dog Dilyn, but there was no conclusive evidence. In any case, the entire place had to be sprayed with flea-killer. I spent several weeks itching.
