Scandal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHH| She hastens out and scarcely pins her clothes | A |
| To hear the news and tell the news she knows | B |
| She talks of sluts marks each unmended gown | C |
| Her self the dirtiest slut in all the town | C |
| She stands with eager haste at slander's tale | D |
| And drinks the news as drunkards drink their ale | D |
| Excuse is ready at the biggest lie | E |
| She only heard it and it passes bye | E |
| The very cat looks up and knows her face | F |
| And hastens to the chair to get the place | F |
| When once set down she never goes away | G |
| Till tales are done and talk has nought to say | G |
| She goes from house to house the village oer | H |
| Her slander bothers everybody's door | H |
