Sonnet Xxi. Supposed To Written By Werter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHDD| GO cruel tyrant of the human breast | A |
| To other hearts thy burning arrows bear | B |
| Go where fond hope and fair illusion rest | A |
| Ah why should love inhabit with despair | B |
| Like the poor maniac I linger here | C |
| Still haunt the scene where all my treasure lies | D |
| Still seek for flowers where only thorns appear | E |
| 'And drink delicious poison from her eyes ' | F |
| Tow'rds the deep gulf that opens on my sight | G |
| I hurry forward Passion's helpless slave | H |
| And scorning Reason's mild and sober light | G |
| Pursue the path that leads me to the grave | H |
| So round the flame the giddy insect flies | D |
| And courts the fatal fire by which it dies | D |
