Sonnets: Idea Xli Love's Lunacy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHBB| Why do I speak of joy or write of love | A |
| When my heart is the very den of horror | B |
| And in my soul the pains of hell I prove | C |
| With all his torments and infernal terror | B |
| What should I say what yet remains to do | D |
| My brain is dry with weeping all too long | E |
| My sighs be spent in utt'ring of my woe | F |
| And I want words wherewith to tell my wrong | E |
| But still distracted in love's lunacy | G |
| And bedlam like thus raving 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 | B |
| Now do I curse her then again I bless her | B |
