Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDDDDCEFGGCDDDD C HHIICDDDC

What state of life can be so blestA
As love that warms a lover's breastA
Two souls in one the same desireB
To grant the bliss and to requireB
But if in heaven a hell we findC
'Tis all from theeD
O JealousyD
'Tis all from theeD
O JealousyD
Thou tyrant tyrant JealousyD
Thou tyrant of the mindC
All other ills though sharp they proveE
Serve to refine and perfect loveF
In absence or unkind disdainG
Sweet hope relieves the lover's painG
But ah no cure but death we findC
To set us freeD
From JealousyD
O JealousyD
Thou tyrant tyrant JealousyD
Thou tyrant of the mindC
-
False in thy glass all objects areH
Some set too near and some too farH
Thou art the fire of endless nightI
The fire that burns and gives no lightI
All torments of the damn'd we findC
In only theeD
O JealousyD
Thou tyrant tyrant JealousyD
Thou tyrant of the mindC

John Dryden
