The first among physicians,
Dr One
He always flies alone.
A drone is a remotely controlled aircraft, an unmanned aerial vehicle.
He's used by some musicians,
One of the fixed-pitch pipes on a bagpipe.
He speaks in monotone.
To speak in a dull flat tone.
A dull and shiftless fellow
A lazy person, an idler who shifts less.
Right in the end we see,
right in done (the end) we see drone - credit for this is due to Fillet.
That bands of black and yellow, Reveal who he may be.
A drone is a male bee or wasp which does not work but can fertilize the queen.
Title: Reflect on a Point to the North of France
Nord (North in France) reflected is Dron, and add a point E(ast) for drone.
