Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGHIIJJNo fault in women to refuse | A |
The offer which they most would chuse | A |
No fault in women to confess | B |
How tedious they are in their dress | B |
No fault in women to lay on | C |
The tincture of vermilion | D |
And there to give the cheek a dye | E |
Of white where Nature doth deny | E |
No fault in women to make show | F |
Of largeness when they're nothing so | F |
When true it is the outside swells | G |

But seldom from suspicion free | I |
No fault in womankind at all | J |
If they but slip and never fall | J |
