She digs i' th' dirt but 'twill not on her stick | A |
So's he who counts this world his greatest gains | B |
Yet nothing gets but's labour for his pains | B |
Earth's the mole's element she can't abide | C |
To be above ground dirt heaps are her pride | C |
And he is like her who the worldling plays | D |
He imitates her in her work and ways | D |
Poor silly mole that thou should'st love to be | E |
Where thou nor sun nor moon nor stars can see | E |
But O how silly's he who doth not care | F |
So he gets earth to have of heaven a share | F |
