Now our Hive is so pinch'd, both for room and for honey,

The industrious Bees would fain kick out the Drones:

But expose not your Life, for victuals nor money;

'Tis better you supperless sleep with whole bones,

Then shuffle, and hustle,

Keep clear of the bustle,

Step out of the way-when they kick up a breeze:

Preserve your own Life,

Till the end of the strife:

Then the few that are left will have more Bread and Cheese.
