Kindly refer to notes
Help ! Lovesick I am struck, ‘tis plain, I’m taken ill,
E’en hot and cold I blow, now hot and cold again.
Lift swift ice aches which snow, scald poor fired heart’s pores swill,
End pain - I've come unstuck - pour pomegranate grain.
Neat eyes which first though luck heart ambushed, reign instilled,
Extinguish love’s flame flow, dry icy, briny rain.
Live must I, yet can't, know Death spurns love's burns down drain
Although life's strong my doe, nought cures your glow, your will.
My Dear, believe me here for you I'd die, lie still,
Out sinew, nerve, vain vein ! No pulse may one sustain
Unless through trial sustained, wild fever wracks the brain.
Real love's symbolic plain as pomegranate’s spill.
Jointly their seeds sufficient strength retain,
Rhyme, reason elsewhere one must seek in vain !
