Answer:

William Blake creates a new stanza at line 5 in order to mark the presentation of a new idea.

Step-by-step explanation:

In lines 1-4, William Blake describes what a fly is like and how he tends to respond to one. In lines 5-8, William Blake begins to question the differences between a man and a fly, thereby presenting a new idea and warranting the creation of a new stanza.
