/ I v He Bee is little, yet esteemed much, 



*> (With no lesse cause) for Workes as sweete, as rare 

 Who, but with Dewes, doe make their owners rich ; 

 And, but for others, worke with ceaslesse care. 



Then here's a hony-Bee, that, but with Dewes, 

 (Exchequer' d in some Trench, as in a Hive) 

 So T -vre grounds with Milke and Hony over-flowes, 

 Whereon both Hee and Others sweetly live. 



Which, not so much for his owne good, he gets ; 

 (Though (like a Bee) at need, hee feedes thereon) 

 But to fill others too, with honyed Sweets ; 

 So, with a Bee, holds just comparison. 



In this they differ ; Bees for this doe dye, 



But Hee, for this shall live immortally. 



Rob: Corbet.
