The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the poet Keats's wishes (which are unrealisable) at the age of 23, word for word perusing and enjoying Keats's sonnet titled "To James Rice" written c. 20 April 1818. John Keats (1795-1821) was a British poet considered among the greatest in English. His works, melodic and rich in classical imagery, include "The Eve of St. Agnes, " "Ode on a Grecian Urn, " "To Autumn" (all 1819), and "To James Rice". A literary critic Robert Gittings (1911-92) states in John Keats (1968) that Rice, a young lawyer in his father's firm, was incurably ill, visiting Sidmouth in Devon and Shanklin in Isle of Wight for his health ; but he made light of his affliction with constant wit and gaiety. Gittings mentions that Rice, neat and dapper, had the sufferer's gift of husbanding his energy, and that suffering too had given Rice a wisdom which Keats recognized and admired, saying that Rice 'makes you laugh and think'. Keats met Rice through John Hamilton Reynolds (1794-1852) in 1817 and Keats went with Rice to Shanklin and Keats remained warmly attached to him, saying that 'Rice is the most sensible, and even wise Man I know.' This paper is to examine Keats's early death on the basis of these proverbs, "Whom the gods love die young, " and "The gifted die young, " in the English sonnet, also called Shakespearean form, containing three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern (abab cdcd efef gg). This is a most singular poem, in which Keats himself uses subjunctive moods in each line of the sonnet.
