Mrs. Benjamin Painter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGHIJIKLMNCOPQ| I know that he told how I snared his soul | A |
| With a snare which bled him to death | B |
| And all the men loved him | C |
| And most of the women pitied him | C |
| But suppose you are really a lady and have delicate tastes | D |
| And loathe the smell of whisky and onions | E |
| And the rhythm of Wordsworth's Ode runs in your ears | F |
| While he goes about from morning till night | G |
| Repeating bits of that common thing | H |
| Oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud | I |
| And then suppose | J |
| You are a woman well endowed | I |
| And the only man with whom the law and morality | K |
| Permit you to have the marital relation | L |
| Is the very man that fills you with disgust | M |
| Every time you think of it while you think of it | N |
| Every time you see him | C |
| That's why I drove him away from home | O |
| To live with his dog in a dingy room | P |
| Back of his office | Q |
