The Love-sick Boy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBDB EBEBFBFB| When first my old old love I knew | A |
| My bosom welled with joy | B |
| My riches at her feet I threw | A |
| I was a love sick boy | B |
| No terms seemed too extravagant | C |
| Upon her to employ | B |
| I used to mope and sigh and pant | D |
| Just like a love sick boy | B |
| - | |
| But joy incessant palls the sense | E |
| And love unchanged will cloy | B |
| And she became a bore intense | E |
| Unto her love sick boy | B |
| With fitful glimmer burnt my flame | F |
| And I grew cold and coy | B |
| At last one morning I became | F |
| Another's love sick boy | B |
