Amor Aeternalis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDFFE| O Love thou Judas of the martyred soul | A |
| Thou pandar to the painted harlot Life | B |
| The rankest lies wherewith thy heart is rife | B |
| Too fulsomely illume thy lips' red scroll | A |
| Whereon is writ the secret of our dole | A |
| Of mortal woes immortalized by thee | C |
| And wisdom through thine olden perfidy | C |
| Drawn back to life from some Lethean shoal | A |
| - | |
| Away I know the weariness and fever | D |
| Kisses compounded of the world's old dust | E |
| With fire that feeds the seventh hell for ever | D |
| The grave shall keep a gentler couch than thine | F |
| Though round my heart the roots of nettles twine | F |
| Wreathed in the ancient attitude of lust | E |
