Rhyme Scheme: AB BACADAEAEA| Now heaven in mercy be kind to the wretches | A |
| Who stay on the earth like this Mrs Merdle | B |
| - | |
| More wretched than ever a wretch on the hurdle | B |
| Was drawn by all England's official Jack Ketches | A |
| More wretched if can be at church on a Sunday | C |
| A woman who worships than God more her dress | A |
| Would be if she heard or e'en thought Mrs Grundy | D |
| Would sneer at the set of a bonnet or tress | A |
| Or say that she thought Miss Freelove's new pattern | E |
| Of laces or collars or yard flowing sleeves | A |
| Looked more like the dress of a real Miss Slattern | E |
| And not so becoming 's the first one of Eve's | A |
