Pain In Pleasure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| A THOUGHT ay like a flower upon mine heart | A |
| And drew around it other thoughts like bees | B |
| For multitude and thirst of sweetnesses | B |
| Whereat rejoicing I desired the art | A |
| Of the Greek whistler who to wharf and mart | A |
| Could lure those insect swarms from orange trees | B |
| That I might hive with me such thoughts and please | B |
| My soul so always foolish counterpart | A |
| Of a weak man's vain wishes While I spoke | C |
| The thought I called a flower grew nettle rough | D |
| The thoughts called bees stung me to festering | E |
| Oh entertain cried Reason as she woke | C |
| Your best and gladdest thoughts but long enough | D |
| And they will all prove sad enough to sting | E |
