Sonnet Cliv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGHIJK| The little Love god lying once asleep | A |
| Laid by his side his heart inflaming brand | B |
| Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste life to keep | A |
| Came tripping by but in her maiden hand | B |
| The fairest votary took up that fire | C |
| Which many legions of true hearts had warm'd | D |
| And so the general of hot desire | C |
| Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarm'd | E |
| This brand she quenched in a cool well by | F |
| Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual | G |
| Growing a bath and healthful remedy | H |
| For men diseased but I my mistress' thrall | I |
| Came there for cure and this by that I prove | J |
| Love's fire heats water water cools not love | K |
