Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFBBGDHH| I dreamed one night that Stephen Massett died | A |
| And for admission up at Heaven applied | A |
| 'Who are you ' asked St Peter Massett said | B |
| 'Jeems Pipes of Pipesville ' Peter bowed his head | B |
| Opened the gates and said 'I'm glad to know you | C |
| And wish we'd something better sir to show you ' | D |
| 'Don't mention it ' said Stephen looking bland | E |
| And was about to enter hat in hand | E |
| When from a cloud below such fumes arose | F |
| As tickled tenderly his conscious nose | F |
| He paused replaced his hat upon his head | B |
| Turned back and to the saintly warden said | B |
| O'er his already sprouting wings 'I swear | G |
| I smell some broiling going on down there ' | D |
| So Massett's paunch attracted by the smell | H |
| Followed his nose and found a place in Hell | H |
