poem excerpt:

A Spacious Hive well stock'd with Bees,
That lived in Luxury and Ease;
These Insects lived like Men, and all
Our Actions they perform'd in small.

They did whatever's done in Town,
And what belongs to Sword, or Gown.
Vast Numbers thronged the fruitful Hive;
Yet those vast Numbers made 'em thrive. Line 8

Thus every Part was full of Vice,
Yet the whole Mass a Paradice;
And lavish of their Wealth and Lives,
The Ballance of all other Hives.

And Vertue, who from Politicks
Had learn'd a Thousand cunning Tricks,
As t'Worst of all the Multitude
Did something for the common Good.

Yet the Noble Sin of Avarice,
That amn'd ill-natur'd baneful Vice,
Employ'd a Million of the Poor,
And odious Pride a Million more.
Line 46

So Vice is benefcial found,
When it's by Justice lopt, and bound;
As necessary to the State,
As Hunger is to make 'em eat.

Bare Vertue can't make Nations live
In Splendour; they, that would revive
A Golden Age, must be as free,
For Acorns, as for Honesty.
Line 125
