1. couplet: English (Shakespearian)- this contains 3 Sicilian quatrains and one heroic couplet at the end, with an "abab cdcd efef gg" rhyme scheme. The turn comes at or near line 13, making the ending couplet quick and dramatic. Not many modern writers have taken to writing the Shakesperean sonnet. e. e. cummings, not known to the general public for sonnet writing, supplies us with a Shakespearean sonnet example: )when what hugs stopping earth than silent is more silent than more than much more is or total sun oceaning than any this tear jumping from each most least eye of star and without was if minus and shall be immeasurable happenless unnow shuts more than open could that every tree or than all his life more death begins to grow end's ending then these dolls of joy and grief these recent memories of future dream these perhaps who have lost their shadows if which did not do the losing spectres mine until out of merely not nothing comes only one snowflake(and we speak our names EXAMPLE See Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress": "The grave's a fine and private place, / But none, I think, do there embrace." Iambic pentameter couplets are called . The adjective was applied in the latter seventeenth. 2. tercet: Note that the following terms are used to group lines in a stanza together: two lines make a COUPLET three lines make a TERCET four lines make a QUATRAIN six lines make a SESTET ALEXANDRINE. A line of twelve syllables, divided (by a comma or other pause) into two half-lines (HEMISTICHS) of six syllables each. The two hemistichs stand in a relationship of complementarity to each other, which in turn are frequently complemented by the next line which rhymes to form a COUPLET. (Other rhyme schemes are possible.) The alexandrine is particularly associated with French verse, where it was viritually the only form from the sixteenth through the late 19th centuries. The play Tartuffe, by Molière, was originally in alexandrines, which the English translator has shortened to 10 or 11 syllables. FREE VERSE We speak of free verse when the poem does not follow any regular meter of stressed/unstressed accents. Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass comes to mind in American free verse usage: Sing on there in the swamp, O singer bashful and tender, I hear your notes, I hear your call, I hear, I come presently, I understand you, But a moment I linger, for the lustrous star has detain'd me, The star my departing comrade holds and detains me. (from Memories of President Lincoln) MADRIGAL The madrigal consists of lines of 7 or 11 syllables, in two or three-line stanzas, with no set rhyme scheme. SONNET A poem of 14 lines, all of which rhyme with at least one other line in a set pattern. The Petrarchan sonnet consists of two QUATRAINS followed by two TERCETS (4+4+3+3=14), while the Shakespearean sonnet consists of three QUATRAINS and a concluding COUPLET (3X4+2=14). SESTINA An unhrymed verse form of six six-line stanzas, followed by a TERCET. The same six words recur at the end of each line in each stanza, but in a varying order. The same six words must recur in the conluding TERCET as well. TERZA RIMA Three-line stanzas (TERCETS), where the middle line of one stanza rhymes with the first and third lines of the next stanza. For an idea of how terza rima works, see Ciardi's translation of Dante in your anthology. VILLANCICO The villancico, a Spanish form, is usually on a religious, pastoral, or other popular theme, expecially those relating to Christmas. An opening stanza provides, in whole or in part, a REFRAIN for the remaining stanzas (usually about six). The last line of the STANZA rhymes with the first line of the REFRAIN. EXAMPLE Do not go Gentle into that Good Night by Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. This poem provides a good example of a Tercet Stanza.
