Sonnet 147: My Love Is As A Fever, Longing Still Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGIIMy love is as a fever longing still | A |
For that which longer nurseth the disease | B |
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill | A |
Th' uncertain sickly appetite to please | B |
My reason the physician to my love | C |
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept | D |
Hath left me and I desperate now approve | E |
Desire is death which physic did except | D |
Past cure I am now reason is past care | F |
And frantic mad with evermore unrest | G |
My thoughts and my discourse as mad men's are | H |
At random from the truth vainly expressed | G |
For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright | I |
Who art as black as hell as dark as night | I |
William Shakespeare
