Love Despised Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDECan one resolve and hunt it from one's heart | A |
This love this god and fiend that makes a hell | B |
Of many a life in ways no tongue can tell | B |
No mind divine nor any word impart | A |
Would not one think the slights that make hearts smart | A |
The ice of love's disdain the wint'ry well | B |
Of love's disfavor love's own fire would quell | B |
Or school its nature too to its own art | A |
Why will men cringe and cry forever here | C |
For that which once obtained may prove a curse | D |
Why not remember that however fair | E |
Decay is wed to Beauty That each year | F |
Takes somewhat from the riches of her purse | D |
Until at last her house of pride stands bare | E |
