The poem is quoted twice?

Here's an example:
THE PARCÆ; OR, THREE DAINTY DESTINIES:
THE ARMILLET.
Three lovely sisters working were,
As they were closely set,
Of soft and dainty maidenhair
A curious armillet.
I, smiling, asked them what they did,
Fair Destinies all three,
Who told me they had drawn a thread
Of life, and 'twas for me.
They show'd me then how fine 'twas spun,
And I reply'd thereto,—
"I care not now how soon 'tis done,
Or cut, if cut by you".

This one is even better. Note the rhyming of twice and thrice:
TO HIS MISTRESS.
Choose me your valentine,
Next let us marry—
Love to the death will pine
If we long tarry.
Promise, and keep your vows,
Or vow ye never—
Love's doctrine disallows
Troth-breakers ever.
You have broke promise twice,
Dear, to undo me,
If you prove faithless thrice
None then will woo ye.

There has to be a better way then going through all his work. I would suggest running Ctrl+f search on some of the phrases of the poem. It's not full quotes, but clear paraphrasing. |

you think you've found a poem quoted twice with paraphrasing in the clue? Was it in Hesperides?

I found a poem in Hesperides that she quoted twice. She didn’t paraphrase. One phrase is an exact quote. The second phrase, she reversed the words. It took a little while to find, but if I can find it, anyone can. I don’t know what to do with it yet.

Ok so we have the poem now what to do with it? Book cipher doesn't seem to work. At least not for me.

Did you try reversing line and word count numbers?
