Although Maude Clare retains many aspects of the genre, it differs from the convention in certain ways. For instance, the abcb rhyme scheme offers a variation on the traditional ballad in that, by not rhyming the final words of the first and third lines of each verse, it avoids fitting smoothly into a predictable pattern.
Maude Clare's fierce language is not obviously trying to hide any of the anger or malice she feels. She addresses Thomas with the cry ‘Lo' before launching into scornful dialogue. ‘Lo' corresponds to both the cry ‘Oh' and the exclamation ‘Look!' Rather than conveying any joy or respect, it is a cry that serves to stop Thomas and Nell in their tracks and forces them to hear what she has to say
Compared to Maude's direct and abrupt language, Thomas speaks in faltering tones that perhaps reflect the fact that he has been stopped unexpectedly.
‘Lady', he said,—'Maude Clare', he said,— ‘Maude Clare:'—and hid his face. (lines 31-2)
