Against Idleness and Mischief

1     How doth the little busy Bee
2         Improve each shining Hour,
3     And gather Honey all the day
4         From every opening Flower!

5     How skilfully she builds her Cell!
6         How neat she spreads the Wax!
7     And labours hard to store it well
8         With the sweet Food she makes.

9     In Works of Labour or of Skill
10       I would be busy too:
11   For Satan finds some Mischief still
12       For idle Hands to do.

13   In Books, or Work, or healthful Play
14       Let my first Years be past,
15   That I may give for every Day
16       Some good Account at last.
