Summary
.......A young man who is failing in his schemes to win the heart of a young lady receives advice from a friend. In the first stanza, the friend asks the young man why he looks so pale and sickly. If the young lady did not like him when he was well, the friend says, why would she like him when he appears ill? In the second stanza, the friend asks the young man why he is so sullen and withdrawn. If his conversations with the young lady failed to impress her, not speaking to her at all certainly will not arouse her interest. In the third stanza, the friend advises the young man to cease wooing the young lady. If she refuses to return his love, nothing he can do or say will change her mind.
Structure and Rhyme
.......The first and third lines of the opening stanza each contain eight syllables; the second, fourth, and fifth lines each contain five syllables. This pattern repeats itself in the second and third stanzas. Thus, in terms of line length, the poem is perfectly balanced.
.......The first two stanzas ask questions that present and comment on the young man's problem. The last stanza suggests a solution to the problem. Notice that the sentences in the second stanza are nearly identical syntactically to those in the first; the sentences in the final stanza are syntactically similar.
.......In each stanza, the first line rhymes with the third, and the second rhymes with the fourth and fifth. Internal rhyme also occurs, as in wan and fond in the first line of the poem.
