Rhyme Scheme: A BACADEDEFAFAGG| To Folly | A |
| - | |
| With fools and children good discretion bears | B |
| Then honest people bear with Love and me | A |
| Nor older yet nor wiser made by years | C |
| Amongst the rest of fools and children be | A |
| Love still a baby plays with gauds and toys | D |
| And like a wanton sports with every feather | E |
| And idiots still are running after boys | D |
| Then fools and children fitt'st to go together | E |
| He still as young as when he first was born | F |
| No wiser I than when as young as he | A |
| You that behold us laugh us not to scorn | F |
| Give Nature thanks you are not such as we | A |
| Yet fools and children sometimes tell in play | G |
| Some wise in show more fools indeed than they | G |
