Secretary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIHI JKJKLMLMMy Master is a man of might | A |
With manners like a hog | B |
He makes me slave from morn to night | A |
And treats me like a dog | C |
He thinks there's nothing on this earth | D |
His money cannot buy | E |
And claims to get full wages worth | D |
From hirelings such as I | E |

But does he Though a Man of State | F |
And fabulously rich | G |
He little guesses that his mate | F |
Is just a bonny bitch | G |
For he is grey and gross and fat | H |
While I am tall and slim | I |
And when he's gone it happens that | H |
I take the place of him | I |
- | |
Oh God The beauty of the blow | J |
When I will blast his life | K |
When I will laugh and let him know | J |
My mistress is his wife | K |
Today a doormat for his feet | L |
He loves to see me squirm | M |
Tomorrow how revenge is sweet | L |
The turning of the worm | M |
