Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFBFBGGWith fools and children good discretion bears | A |
Then honest people bear with love and me | B |
Nor older yet nor wiser made by years | C |
Amongst the rest of fools and children be | B |
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 |
Nor wiser I than when as young as he | B |
You that behold us laugh us not to scorn | F |
Give nature thanks you are not such as we | B |

Some wise in show more fools indeed than they | G |
