Classic Poem

Have ye seen the caterpillar
Foully warking in his nest?
Tis the poor man getting siller,
Without cleanness, without rest.

Have you seen the butterfly
In braw claithing drest?
Tis the poor man gotten rich,
In rings & painted vest.

The poor man crawls in web of rags,
And sore bested with woes,
But when he flees on riches' wings,
He laugheth at his foes.
