Against Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDEEFGGHHHence Cupid with your cheating toys | A |
Your real griefs and painted joys | A |
Your pleasure which itself destroys | A |
Lovers like men in fevers burn and rave | B |
And only what will injure them do crave | B |
Men's weakness makes love so severe | C |
They give him power by their fear | C |
And make the shackles which they wear | D |
Who to another does his heart submit | E |
Makes his own idol and then worships it | E |
Him whose heart is all his own | F |
Peace and liberty does crown | G |
He apprehends no killing frown | G |
He feels no raptures which are joys diseased | H |
And is not much transported but still pleased | H |
