Riches Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBDB EFGF

Have ye seen the caterpillarA
Foully warking in his nestB
'T is the poor man getting sillerA
Without cleanness without restB
-
Have ye seen the butterflyC
In braw claithing drestB
'T is the poor man gotten richD
In rings and painted vestB
-
The poor man crawls in web of ragsE
And sore bested with woesF
But when he flees on riches' wingsG
He laugheth at his foesF
