On Mistress Nicely, A Pattern For Housekeepers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| She was a woman peerless in her station | A |
| With household virtues wedded to her name | B |
| Spotless in linen grass bleached in her fame | B |
| And pure and clear starched in her conversation | A |
| Thence in my Castle of Imagination | A |
| She dwells for evermore the dainty dame | B |
| To keep all airy draperies from shame | B |
| And all dream furnitures in preservation | A |
| - | |
| There walketh she with keys quite silver bright | C |
| In perfect hose and shoes of seemly black | D |
| Apron and stomacher of lily white | C |
| And decent order follows in her track | D |
| The burnished plate grows lustrous in her sight | C |
| And polished floors and tables shine her back | D |
