Modern Love Xxvii: Distraction Is The Panacea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCBDDBDEED

Distraction is the panacea SirA
I hear my oracle of Medicine sayB
Doctor that same specific yesterdayB
I tried and the result will not deterA
A second trial Is the devil's lineC
Of golden hair or raven black composedD
And does a cheek like any sea shell rosedD
Or clear as widowed sky seem most divineC
No matter so I taste forgetfulnessB
And if the devil snare me body and mindD
Here gratefully I score he seem d kindD
When not a soul would comfort my distressB
O sweet new world in which I rise new madeD
O Lady once I gave love now I takeE
Lady I must be flattered Shouldst thou wakeE
The passion of a demon be not afraidD
