Poem of the Day - Part 77

 My Lady's Lamentation
by Jonathan Swift

My Lady's Lamentation and Complaint Against the Dean is a very long (226 lines) satirical poem that Swift wrote in 1728.  It has become noted for these 4 lines.  My interpretation of them may be slightly different than Swift's.

Hail, fellow well met,

All dirty and wet:

Find out, if you can,

Who's master, who's man.
