Against Idleness And Mischief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGH CICI

How doth the little busy BeeA
Improve each shining HourB
And gather Honey all the dayC
From every opening FlowerB
-
How skilfully she builds her CellD
How neat she spreads the WaxE
And labours hard to store it wellD
With the sweet Food she makesF
-
In Works of Labour or of SkillG
I would be busy tooH
For Satan finds some Mischief stillG
For idle Hands to doH
-
In Books or Work or healthful PlayC
Let my first Years be pastI
That I may give for every DayC
Some good Account at lastI
