Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| The mole's a creature very smooth and slick | A |
| 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 |
