On An Ill-managed House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| Let me thy properties explain | A |
| A rotten cabin dropping rain | A |
| Chimneys with scorn rejecting smoke | B |
| Stools tables chairs and bedsteads broke | B |
| Here elements have lost their uses | C |
| Air ripens not nor earth produces | C |
| In vain we make poor Sheelah toil | D |
| Fire will not roast nor water boil | D |
| Through all the valleys hills and plains | E |
| The Goddess Want in triumph reigns | E |
| And her chief officers of state | F |
| Sloth Dirt and Theft around her wait | F |
