Sonnet V: O! How Can Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACAC| O How can LOVE exulting Reason queil | A |
| How fades each nobler passion from his gaze | B |
| E'en Fame that cherishes the Poet's lays | B |
| That fame ill fated Sappho lov'd so well | A |
| Lost is the wretch who in his fatal spell | A |
| Wastes the short Summer of delicious days | B |
| And from the tranquil path of wisdom strays | B |
| In passion's thorny wild forlorn to dwell | A |
| O ye who in that sacred Temple smile | A |
| Where holy Innocence resides enshrin'd | C |
| Who fear not sorrow and who know not guile | A |
| Each thought compos'd and ev'ry wish resign'd | C |
| Tempt not the path where pleasure's flow'ry wile | A |
| In sweet but pois'nous fetters holds the mind | C |
