The Sonnets Cxlvii - My Love Is As A Fever Longing Still Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGII| My 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 |
| The 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 madmen's are | H |
| At random from the truth vainly express'd | 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
