To The Little Spinners Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDDEEEBBFGF| Ye pretty housewives would ye know | A |
| The work that I would put ye to | B |
| This this it should be for to spin | C |
| A lawn for me so fine and thin | C |
| As it might serve me for my skin | C |
| For cruel Love has me so whipp'd | D |
| That of my skin I all am stripp'd | D |
| And shall despair that any art | E |
| Can ease the rawness or the smart | E |
| Unless you skin again each part | E |
| Which mercy if you will but do | B |
| I call all maids to witness to | B |
| What here I promise that no broom | F |
| Shall now or ever after come | G |
| To wrong a spinner or her loom | F |
