To An Angry Bee. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCAADEDE| Malicious insect little vengeful bee | A |
| With venom sting thou'rt whirling round and round | B |
| A harmless head that ne'er meant wrong to thee | A |
| And friendship's hand it is thou'dst wish to wound | B |
| Cool thy revenge and judge thy foes aright | B |
| The harden'd neatherd and the sweet tooth'd boy | C |
| Thy moss wrapp'd treasures if but in their sight | B |
| Soon would they all thy honey'd lives destroy | C |
| But delve the cowslip peep in labour free | A |
| And dread no pilferer of thy hoards in me | A |
| Thus man to man oft takes a friend for foe | D |
| And spurns a blessing when its in his power | E |
| Mistakes real happiness for worldly woe | D |
| Crops sorrow's weed and treads on pleasure's flower | E |
