The Hardship Upon The Ladies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE| Poor ladies though their business be to play | A |
| 'Tis hard they must be busy night and day | A |
| Why should they want the privilege of men | B |
| Nor take some small diversions now and then | B |
| Had women been the makers of our laws | C |
| And why they were not I can see no cause | D |
| The men should slave at cards from morn to night | E |
| And female pleasures be to read and write | E |
