Ad Ministram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FFFFGHGH| Dear Lucy you know what my wish is | A |
| I hate all your Frenchified fuss | B |
| Your silly entr es and made dishes | C |
| Were never intended for us | B |
| No footman in lace and in ruffles | D |
| Need dangle behind my arm chair | E |
| And never mind seeking for truffles | D |
| Although they be ever so rare | E |
| - | |
| But a plain leg of mutton my Lucy | F |
| I pr'ythee get ready at three | F |
| Have it smoking and tender and juicy | F |
| And what better meat can here be | F |
| And when it has feasted the master | G |
| 'Twill amply suffice for the maid | H |
| Meanwhile I will smoke my canaster | G |
| And tipple my ale in the shade | H |
