No Master Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFAAGGHHIIJK KII| Indeed this is the sweet life my hand | A |
| Is under no proud man's command | A |
| There is no voice to break my rest | B |
| Before a bird has left its nest | B |
| There is no man to change my mood | C |
| When I go nutting in the wood | D |
| No man to pluck my sleeve and say | E |
| I want thy labour for this day | E |
| No man to keep me out of sight | F |
| When that dear Sun is shining bright | F |
| None but my friends shall have command | A |
| Upon my time my heart and hand | A |
| I'll rise from sleep to help a friend | G |
| But let no stranger orders send | G |
| Or hear my curses fast and thick | H |
| Which in his purse proud throat would stick | H |
| Like burrs If I cannot be free | I |
| To do such work as pleases me | I |
| Near woodland pools and under trees | J |
| You'll get no work at all for I | K |
| Would rather live this life and die | K |
| A beggar or a thief than be | I |
| A working slave with no days free | I |
