The Butterfly Obtains
1685
The butterfly obtains
But little sympathy
Though favorably mentioned
In Entomology-
Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat
The circumspect are certain
That he is dissolute-
Had he the homely scutcheon
Of modest Industry
'Twere fitter certifying
For Immortality-
Emily Dickinson
