The Nameless Maiden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEF GEHEEEE EIJIEE EBHKLE EMNO E PELE E

A MAID I dare not tell her nameA
For fear I should disgrace herB
Tempted a young man for to comeC
One night for to embrace herB
When at the door he made a stop he made a stopD
Then she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'The latch will up the latch will up 'F
-
This young man hearing of her wordsG
Pull'd up the latch and enteredE
But in the room unfortunatelyH
To her mother's bed he venturedE
When the poor maid was sore afraidE
And almost dead and almost deadE
Then she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'To the truckle bed to the truckle bed '-
-
Unto the truckle bed he wentE
But as this youth was a goingI
The unlucky cradle stood in his wayJ
Which had almost spoil'd his wooingI
When after this the maid he spy'd the maid he spy'dE
Here she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'To th'other side to th'other side '-
-
Unto the other side he wentE
To show the love he meant herB
Pull'd off his clothes courageouslyH
And fell to the work he was sent forK
And the poor maid made no reply made no replyL
But she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'A little too high a little too high '-
-
This lusty lover half ashamedE
Of her gentle admonitionM
He thought to charge her home againN
As e'er a girl could wish himO
'Why now my love I'm right I know I'm right I know '-
Then she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'A little too low a little too low '-
-
But by mistake at length this youthP
His business so well 'tendedE
He hit the mark so cunninglyL
He defy'd all the world to mend itE
'Well now my love I'm right I swear I'm right I swear '-
Then she lay still and snoring cry'dE
'Oh there just there O there just there '-
