Analysis of The Amorous Pang: A Sonnet of Ethereal Verse and Eloquent Remedy
When Cupid's dart doth pierce thy breast,
And thou art captive to love's fervent fire,
Thou mayst be plunged in madness and unrest
But fear not, for there is a cure entire
For thine afflicted mind and heart, behold!
The pursuit of poesy, the bard's dear art
Shall serve as salve and bring thee to the fold
Of those who rank as laureate in the mart
Of aesthetics and adoration's tongue,
Which shall thy spirit elevate and elevate
And bring thee peace, where madness had begun
Thus, in the realm of verse, thou shall find thy fate.
