I Swear To You, Love, By Your Arrows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBE EGEHEB

I swear to you Love by your arrowsA
And by your powerful holy flameB
I care not if by one I m maimedC
My heart burned wasted by the otherD
However far through times past or comingE
There never was nor will be womanF
Whomever of them you wish to nameB
Could know such sharpness such devouringE
-
For there s a virtue born from sufferingE
That dims and conquers the sense of painG
So that it s barely felt seems scarcely hurtingE
No This that torments soul and body againH
This is the real fear presaging my dyingE
What if my fire be only straw and flameB
