Earth's Preference Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFE| Earth loves her young a preference manifest | A |
| She prompts them to her fruits and flower beds | B |
| Their beauty with her choicest interthreads | B |
| And makes her revel of their merry zest | A |
| As in our East much were it in our West | A |
| If men had risen to do the work of heads | B |
| Her gabbling grey she eyes askant nor treads | B |
| The ways they walk by what they speak oppressed | A |
| How wrought they in their zenith 'Tis not writ | C |
| Not all yet she by one sure sign can read | D |
| Have they but held her laws and nature dear | E |
| They mouth no sentence of inverted wit | C |
| More prizes she her beasts than this high breed | F |
| Wry in the shape she wastes her milk to rear | E |
