The Maid Of Keinton Mandeville Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCCB DDEFFGE HHHIHIH JJBEEEB

I hear that maiden stillA
Of Keinton MandevilleA
Singing in flights that playedB
As wind wafts through us allC
Till they made our mood a thrallC
To their aery rise and fallC
Should he upbraidB
-
Rose necked in sky gray gownD
From a stage in Stower TownD
Did she sing and singing smileE
As she blent that dexterous voiceF
With the ditty of her choiceF
And banished our annoysG
ThereawhileE
-
One with such song had powerH
To wing the heaviest hourH
Of him who housed with herH
Who did I never knewI
When her spoused estate ondrewH
And her warble flung its wooI
In his earH
-
Ah she's a beldame nowJ
Time trenched on cheek and browJ
Whom I once heard as a maidB
From Keinton MandevilleE
Of matchless scope and skillE
Sing with smile and swell and trillE
Should he upbraidB
