Sonnet Viii: Why, Through Each Aching Vein Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCD| Why through each aching vein with lazy pace | A |
| Thus steals the languid fountain of my heart | B |
| While from its source each wild convulsive start | B |
| Tears the scorch'd roses from my burning face | A |
| In vain O Lesbian Vales your charms I trace | A |
| Vain is the poet's theme the sculptor's art | B |
| No more the Lyre its magic can impart | B |
| Though wak'd to sound with more than mortal grace | A |
| Go tuneful maids go bid my Phaon prove | C |
| That passion mocks the empty boast of fame | D |
| Tell him no joys are sweet but joys of love | E |
| Melting the soul and thrilling all the frame | D |
| Oh may th'ecstatic thought in bosom move | C |
| And sighs of rapture fan the blush of shame | D |
