Sonnet Vii: Love In A Humour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDDDEFGFHHLove in a humor play'd the prodigal | A |
And bade my Senses to a solemn feast | B |
Yet more to grace the company withal | A |
Invites my Heart to be the chiefest guest | C |
No other drink would serve this glutton's turn | D |
But precious tears distilling from mine eyne | D |
Which with my sighs this epicure doth burn | D |
Quaffing carouses in this costly wine | D |
Where in his cups o'ercome with foul excess | E |
Straightways he plays a swaggering ruffian's part | F |
And at the banquet in his drunkenness | G |
Slew his dear friend my kind and truest Heart | F |
A gentle warning friends thus may you see | H |
What 'tis to keep a drunkard company | H |
