Bee Life. 



The egg she lays; the nurses hatch 

 That egg, and in the cradle watch. 

 The babe to swaddle, and prepare 

 The pap-boat, is their constant care. 



AlKday, in regal state, the Queen 

 Encircled by her court is seen ; 

 Their backs they never rudely turn : 

 Good manners they by instinct learn.
