"Why so pale and wan fond lover?" by Sir John Suckling

Why so pale and wan fond lover? Prithee why so pale?

Will, when looking well can't move her,

Looking ill prevail?

Prithee why so pale?

Why so dull and mute young sinner?

Prithee why so mute?

Will, when speaking well can't win her,

Saying nothing do't?

Prithee why so mute?

Quit, quit for shame, this will not move,

This cannot take her;

If of herself she will not love,

Nothing can make her;

The devil take her.

The poem "Why so pale and wan fond lover" by Sir John Suckling follows an ABAB rhyme scheme. This means that each quatrain (four-line stanza) contains alternating rhyming lines. For example, the first and third lines rhyme with each other, while the second and fourth lines rhyme separately.
