The Butterfly And The Bee. (from The Villager's Verse-book.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG

Methought I heard a butterflyA
Say to a labouring beeB
Thou hast no colours of the skyA
On painted wings like meB
-
Poor child of vanity those dyesC
And colours bright and rareD
With mild reproof the bee repliesC
Are all beneath my careD
-
Content I toil from morn till eveE
And scorning idlenessF
To tribes of gawdy sloth I leaveE
The vanities of dressG
