The Woman And The Devil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FEF GHG IJIJ

When Man and Woman had been madeA
All but the dispositionB
The Devil to the workshop strayedA
And somehow gained admissionB
-
The Master rested from his workC
For this was on a SundayD
The man was snoring like a TurkC
Content to wait till MondayE
-
'Too bad ' the Woman cried 'Oh whyF
Does slumber not benumb meE
A disposition Oh I dieF
To know if 'twill become me '-
-
The Adversary said 'No doubtG
'Twill be extremely fine ma'amH
Though sure 'tis long to be withoutG
I beg to lend you mine ma'am '-
-
The Devil's disposition whenI
She'd got of course she wore itJ
For she'd no disposition thenI
Nor now has to restore itJ
