Ice And Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBBBCBCBB| My love is like to ice and I to fire | A |
| How comes it then that this her cold so great | B |
| Is not dissolved through my so hot desire | A |
| But harder grows the more I her entreat | B |
| Or how comes it that my exceeding heat | B |
| Is not allayed by her heart frozen cold | B |
| But that I burn much more in boiling sweat | B |
| And feel my flames augmented manifold | B |
| What more miraculous thing may be told | B |
| That fire which all things melts should harden ice | C |
| And ice which is congeal'd with senseless cold | B |
| Should kindle fire by wonderful device | C |
| Such is the power of love in gentle mind | B |
| That it can alter all the course of kind | B |
