Sonnet 08 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHI| Oh love of woman you are known to be | A |
| A passion sent to plague the hearts of men | B |
| For every one you bring felicity | A |
| Bringing rebuffs and wretchedness to ten | B |
| I have been oft where human life sold cheap | C |
| And seen men's brains spilled out about their ears | D |
| And yet that never cost me any sleep | C |
| I lived untroubled and I shed no tears | E |
| Fools prate how war is an atrocious thing | F |
| I always knew that nothing it implied | G |
| Equalled the agony of suffering | F |
| Of him who loves and loves unsatisfied | G |
| War is a refuge to a heart like this | H |
| Love only tells it what true torture is | I |
