Modern Love Xiv: What Soul Would Bargain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEHIIH| What soul would bargain for a cure that brings | A |
| Contempt the nobler agony to kill | B |
| Rather let me bear on the bitter ill | B |
| And strike this rusty bosom with new stings | A |
| It seems there is another veering fit | C |
| Since on a gold haired lady's eyeballs pure | D |
| I looked with little prospect of a cure | D |
| The while her mouth's red bow loosed shafts of wit | C |
| Just heaven can it be true that jealousy | E |
| Has decked the woman thus and does her head | F |
| Swim somewhat for possessions forfeited | G |
| Madam you teach me many things that be | E |
| I open an old book and there I find | H |
| That Women still may love whom they deceive | I |
| Such love I prize not madam by your leave | I |
| The game you play at is not to my mind | H |
