Her Likeness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EDEEF| A GIRL who has so many wilful ways | A |
| She would have caused Job's patience to forsake him | B |
| Yet is so rich in all that's girlhood's praise | A |
| Did Job himself upon her goodness gaze | A |
| A little better she would surely make him | B |

| Yet is this girl I sing in naught uncommon | C |
| And very far from angel yet I trow | D |
| Her faults her sweetnesses are purely human | C |
| Yet she's more lovable as simple woman | C |
| Than any one diviner that I know | D |
| - | |
| Therefore I wish that she may safely keep | E |
| This womanhede and change not only grow | D |
| From maid to matron youth to age may creep | E |
| And in perennial blessedness still reap | E |
| On every hand of that which she doth sow | F |
