The State Secret. An Impromptu. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CCDDEEFFGGCC| Murder will out and so will truth sometimes | A |
| For once I'll prove it in a dozen lines | B |
| - | |
| At one of those parties where Julia's sweet face | C |
| Added interest to beauty and archness to grace | C |
| Where many fine folks met and one very great | D |
| Proud and stupid an embryo minister sate | D |
| Like a damper he came to put good humour out | E |
| And it chanced that as Julia's pet bird flew about | E |
| It presumptuously 'lit on this mighty man's head | F |
| When her lore laughing sister sweet Eleanor said | F |
| Naughty bird I must cage you for being so rude | G |
| On Lord head oh how dare you intrude | G |
| Let it rest replied Julia with an exquisite grace | C |
| Don't frighten it off for it likes a soft place | C |
