Modern Love Xxxviii: Give To Imagination Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHDDH| Give to imagination some pure light | A |
| In human form to fix it or you shame | B |
| The devils with that hideous human game | B |
| Imagination urging appetite | A |
| Thus fallen have earth's greatest Gogmagogs | C |
| Who dazzle us whom we can not revere | D |
| Imagination is the charioteer | D |
| That in default of better drives the hogs | C |
| So therefore my dear Lady let me love | E |
| My soul is arrowy to the light in you | F |
| You know me that I never can renew | F |
| The bond that woman broke what would you have | G |
| 'Tis Love or Vileness not a choice between | H |
| Save petrifaction What does Pity here | D |
| She killed a thing and now it's dead 'tis dear | D |
| Oh when you counsel me think what you mean | H |
