The Sonnets Cliii - Cupid Laid By His Brand And Fell Asleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Cupid laid by his brand and fell asleep | A |
| A maid of Dian's this advantage found | B |
| And his love kindling fire did quickly steep | A |
| In a cold valley fountain of that ground | B |
| Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love | C |
| A dateless lively heat still to endure | D |
| And grew a seeting bath which yet men prove | E |
| Against strange maladies a sovereign cure | D |
| But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new fired | F |
| The boy for trial needs would touch my breast | G |
| I sick withal the help of bath desired | F |
| And thither hied a sad distemper'd guest | G |
| But found no cure the bath for my help lies | H |
| Where Cupid got new fire my mistress' eyes | H |
