Sonnet Cxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Like as to make our appetites more keen | A |
| With eager compounds we our palate urge | B |
| As to prevent our maladies unseen | A |
| We sicken to shun sickness when we purge | B |
| Even so being tuff of your ne'er cloying sweetness | C |
| To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding | D |
| And sick of welfare found a kind of meetness | C |
| To be diseased ere that there was true needing | D |
| Thus policy in love to anticipate | E |
| The ills that were not grew to faults assured | F |
| And brought to medicine a healthful state | E |
| Which rank of goodness would by ill be cured | F |
| But thence I learn and find the lesson true | G |
| Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you | G |
