The poem reflects on the chaos caused by Eros, the god of love, and how his power is beyond human control. The speaker believes that without Eros, he would not be forced to love someone who does not love him in return. He expresses frustration with being matched with someone incompatible and calls Eros an immature tyrant. While the speaker calls himself a rebel against Eros, he still acknowledges being subject to the god's influence. The poem uses literary devices like rhyme and diction to demonstrate how love can involve heartbreak when beyond one's control.
