Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDAAAA| When to a house I come and see | A |
| The Genius wasteful more than free | A |
| The servants thumbless yet to eat | B |
| With lawless tooth the flour of wheat | B |
| The sons to suck the milk of kine | C |
| More than the teats of discipline | C |
| The daughters wild and loose in dress | D |
| Their cheeks unstained with shamefac'dness | D |
| The husband drunk the wife to be | A |
| A bawd to incivility | A |
| I must confess I there descry | A |
| A house spread through with leprosy | A |
