In "Paradise Lost," Milton uses elaborate deductive reasoning in Satan's temptation of Eve — a philosophically sophisticated series of arguments that lead step by step from premises to the seemingly logical conclusion that eating the forbidden fruit is reasonable; The Metaphysical poets, especially Donne, use deductive argument as a structural principle — the poem begins with a premise and works its way, through sometimes outrageous logical steps, to a conclusion ("For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love"); A poet using syllogistic structure in a love poem — "All who love are vulnerable; I love you; therefore I am vulnerable" — deploys philosophical deduction to give logical necessity to emotional truth, making feeling formally compelling; Pope's "Essay on Man" proceeds through a series of quasi-deductive arguments about human nature, the chain of being, and moral philosophy, treating philosophical deduction as an appropriate instrument for poetry about ideas; A contemporary poet writing about climate ethics might use deductive argument — from accepted premises about human responsibility and causal connection to conclusions about obligation — to make a philosophical case in poetic form; The sonnet's volta (turn) can be read as the pivot of a philosophical deduction — the octave establishes the premises or problem, and the sestet deduces the conclusion, giving the form a quasi-logical as well as emotional structure
