Sonnet Xli: Why Do I Speak Of Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDCEFGFAHIHCC| Love's Lunacy | A |
| - | |
| Why do I speak of joy or write of love | B |
| When my heart is the very den of horror | C |
| And in my soul the pains of Hell I prove | D |
| With all his torments and infernal terror | C |
| What should I say What yet remains to do | E |
| My brain is dry with weeping all too long | F |
| My sighs be spent in uttering my woe | G |
| And I want words wherewith to tell my wrong | F |
| But still distracted in Love's lunacy | A |
| And bedlam like thus raging in my grief | H |
| Now rail upon her hair then on her eye | I |
| Now call her Goddess then I call her thief | H |
| Now I deny her then I do confess her | C |
| Now do I curse her then again I bless her | C |
