FOREWORD
The desire to write poetry, or at least acceptable verse, is almost uni-
versal. The achievement of this desire may be gained by anyone,
without excessive effort. Almost everyone, at some stage of his or her
life, has yielded to the seductive siren, and has done his or her best to
write poetry. An adequate craftbook on versification is a necessity,
when the urge becomes unconquerable.
When the versifier's problem is narrowed down to rhyme, the need
for a convenient and logically arranged rhyming dictionary soon
becomes self-evident. Rhyme is exclusively a matter of sound: what
the scientists call phonetics. The logically arranged rhyming dic-
tionary must be arranged scientifically by sound; arranged phoneti-
cally, to use the scientific word. The arrangement of rhyming sounds
in the present volume is wholly phonetic.
The introductory study of versification is so complete, that the
book will answer almost every question on technique that any would-
be poet or versifier desires to have answered. Moreover, it provides
models for the most intricate forms of poetry and versification that
English-speaking poets use. Following a model is at best finger exer-
cise. But finger exercise must precede mastery of the keyboard.
The phonetic devices in the volume are simplified from the leading
standard dictionaries, by eliminating in general all phonetic signs
except those placed above the accented or rhyming syllable. Once
these simple phonetic devices are understood and absorbed, poets
and versifiers will begin to think accurately, scientifically and phonet-
ically about rhymes and rhyming. The technique of rhyming will
become as automatic as the technique of walking: and the poetic
energy will be proportionately released for the more effective creation
of poetry.

POETRY AND VERSIFICATION
Poetry and Verse

THE WORD POETRY is often used loosely to mean whatever embodies
the products of imagination and fancy, the finer emotions and the
sense of ideal beauty. In this lax usage, men speak of "the poetry of
motion," the poetry of Rodin or Wagner, the poetry of dahlia-raising.
In accurate usage, poetry is a specific fine art, defined as follows:
Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and

nobler emotions or their opposites, in words arranged according to
some accepted convention.
This definition includes, for instance, Oriental forms of poetry,

where the sole convention is the number of syllables to the line. Lim-
iting it to usual Occidental poetry the following definition applies:
Occidental poetry, in its usual form, is the expression of thoughts

which awake the higher and nobler emotions or their opposites, in
words whose rhythm tends toward uniformity or regularity, rather
than toward variety.
Both prose and poetry have rhythm. But the rhythm of prose tends
toward variety; and that of poetry toward regularity. There is no defi-
nite dividing line; each poet, each reader and appreciator of poetry,
must arrive at his or her own dividing line. To some, the borderline of
poetry includes only the strict regularity of Pope or Dryden, or—
Baby in the caldron fell,—

See the grief on mother's brow!
Mother loved her darling well.
Darling's quite hard-boiled by now.
Baby, Harry Graham.
THE COMPLETE RHYMING DICTIONARY 4
No one can quarrel with this, if it is an honest boundary. To others,

the magnificent wilder rhythms of Walt Whitman and Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address are definitely poetry. No one can quarrel with this
either.
The test as to subject matter is subjective: does the alleged poem
awake in the reader the higher and nobler emotions or their opposites?
Each reader, appreciator or poet is final arbiter in this test, as in the
test of technique. The expression of thoughts which fail to register
emotionally with a reader as poetry is called verse. Thus, divided by
technique, there are the two classifications, poetry and prose; divided
by subject matter and its emotional effect, there are the two classifica-
tions, poetry and verse.
Poetry in Human Affairs

Poetry preceded prose, as a persisting form of literary expression.
Writing was unknown to early man; and poetry was far better
adapted to be retained in the mind than its more plodding relative,
prose. The conventions of poetry formed memory devices which
prose lacked. In the beginning, lyric cries, folk wisdom, tales of tribal
heroes, formal odes of jubilation or lamentation, religious teachings,
philosophies, pseudo-sciences, histories of men, demigods, gods and
peoples, developed first in the form of poetry.
Insofar as the conventions of poetry were artificial and unnatural,
poetry tended constantly to rigidify and petrify. It became artificial
and unnatural, whereas prose continued to be natural. Man learned to
write, and to preserve his writing in stone, papyrus, sheepskin and
paper. At first it was the poetry which was so preserved; at length the
art patterns were broken, and humbler and more natural prose began
to replace poetry. Today, we look to prose for folk wisdom, actual and
fictional narratives, religious teachings, philosophies, scientific writ-
ings, and histories. Poetry, as the most concentrated and emotional
expression of the soul of man, still should have its place in the lyric
outbursts, the songs, of man. But poets, bound by fossilized conven-
tions, have become a tepid social group, their words largely unimpor-
tant; and in the large prose tends today to have replaced poetry
entirely. Many of the poets today and tomorrow seek to restore poetry
to something of its original wide popularity, as a natural and unartif i-
cial expression of concentrated emotional speech.
Kings, rulers, statesmen, generals, philosophers, scientists were
5 POETRY AND VERSIFICATION
once of necessity poets: it was their sole socially acceptable form of

expression. This is so no longer. Poets were once doers; they are now
at best sayers, increasingly unheard. This is one price of man's
extreme specialization. The price paid may be more than the human
gain, in this particular.
The Poet's Equipment

The poet, like all artists, is one of the race's sensitives: one of those
more finely attuned to phrase the past and the present acceptably, and
sense and phrase the future. The first necessary equipment is sincer-
ity. This demands that commonplace phrasings must be avoided, in
favor of fresh original expression of individual or group concentrated
emotions. If the race recognizes these as its own, to that extent the
poet will be hailed as poetically great.
Another essential is technical mastery; adeptness in the craft
of poetry, skill in handling all the tools of the trade. Familiarity with
all the conventions will enable you to break them and make new ones
when your fresh subject matter demands it. Technical mastery is as
easy, and no easier, than learning how to raise better peas than your
neighbor, or how to build better bridges and skyscrapers than anyone
else. Having learned the craft, anyone with an ear for word-music can
improvise flawless heroic blank verse or any other form of blank
verse by the hour, or improvise elaborately rhymed sonnets with no
appreciable hesitation. This is not poetry. But the familiarity with the
craft makes the coming of poetry easier, in the rare hours when the
poet has a concentrated word that must be said.
Poetic Greatness
One can become great poetically, either in his own sight alone or
in the opinions of others, without knowledge of the craft. Homer,
Sappho, Villon, Burns, made their own patterns, or poured their
burning emotional beauty into ready-made patterns followed without
being comprehended. The definitions of patterns were made after-
ward, from a scholastic study of poetry widely recognized as great.
Such greatness may be achieved by anyone today—the entirely satis-
factory expression of one's soul's yearnings. But the recognition of
such greatness today will ordinarily be limited to the poet and his
immediate circle of admirers within or without his family.
With a complete technical mastery of the craft of poetry, any poet
today can achieve complete greatness in his own sight. Whether he is
hailed by others as great, and especially whether or not his name is
hailed by his own and subsequent generations as great, depends
largely on the extent to which his own concentrated heart-utterances
express the desires of the race, in a new, fresh and original form.
Given such recognition by the race, an enduring poetic greatness has
been achieved. The poet can no more control this than Cnut could act
as dictator over the tide.
How Poems Come

Verse upon any theme, and in treatment ranging from the most
ponderously serious to the most frivolously flippant, can be
manufactured at any time. Its technique is comparatively simple. Its
devices, meter, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, consonance, stanza
arrangement may be mastered as easily as multiplication tables.
Poetry comes differently. It is primarily the intellect that manufac-
tures verse; but the intellect plays only a secondary part in creating
poetry. The desire that seeks expression, which it finds in the poem,
springs from a deeper basic source than thinking. Man, indeed all
forms of life, are compact of desires. The fulfillment of one desire
causes others to spring hydra-like from its invisible corpse. Psycholo-
gists tell us that dreams are likewise expressions of desire, in the form
of desires fulfilled; that is, wish fulfillments. Much thinking is like-
wise wish fulfillment; there is truth in Wordsworth's dictum, "The
wish is father to the thought." There must be, also, an obstacle to the
immediate fulfillment of the wish; otherwise the poet would proceed
to achieve his wish and have no need for a poem to express it. As one
poet has it:
Singing is sweet; but be sure of this,
Lips only sing when they cannot kiss.
Art, James Thomson.
Because of the obstacle, a tremendous inner compulsion comes upon
the sensitive poet to seek relief by creating his wish-fulfillment in
words: and so it is that poems are born. This inner compulsion has, as
7 POETRY AND VERSIFICATION
one of its names, inspiration. Inspiration blows from no outer sky, but
from the universe of desires within. The woman's insistent inner com-
pulsion to deliver her child at the appointed hour is hardly more shat-
ter ingly imperative than the true poet's insistent inner commandment
to write.
At times the whole poem forms itself within the mind, before the
first word is written down. At times a couplet, a single line—perhaps
the first, but more often the last—or even a phrase or a mood comes
first, with the dominant insistence that it be given the intermittent
immortality of writing. The wise procedure for the poet is to write
down what comes, as it comes, even if only a single line or less is the
result. As far as possible, write out the poem without delay, to prevent
another visitor from Porlock's silencing part of your poem forever, as
Coleridge's Kubla Khan was silenced forever.
When the poem or poetic fragment is written down, the critical
intellect comes into play. If technical mastery has become habitual,
the intellect may have no changes to suggest. The poet who fails to be
a critic as well is usually his own self-slayer. More extended poems,
of course, require more preparation and slower writing and criticism.
In all cases the danger is more in the overuse of the intellect than in
the use of inspiration.
Originality in Poetry
The easiest way, in poetry, is to rephrase your own emotional reac-
tions in the words and phrases created by the favorite poets of the
past: so that a thing is "white as the driven snow," or "red as a June
rose." When these similes were first invented, they were creations;
their repetition, unless in slightly altered form, is plagiarism or bor-
rowing. Second-rate poets distrust their own vision, which differs in
every case from that of every other person in the world; and hence sag
into such uncreative repetitions. It is wisest to be true to your own
differing vision and seek to expand the boundaries of poetry by stat-
ing your own desires in your own terms.
The weakness of much verse and some poetry of the past is partly
traceable to unoriginal teachers of English or versification, who
advised their pupils to saturate themselves in this or that poet, and
then write. Keats, saturated in Spenser, took a long time to overcome
this echoey quality and emerge into the glorious highland of his Hype-
rion. Many lesser souls never emerge. It is valuable to know the
poetry of the past and love it. But the critical brain should carefully
root out every echo, every imitation—unless some alteration in phras-
ing or meaning makes the altered phrase your own creation.
The present double decade has splendidly altered the technique
of versification in poetry, by the addition of freer rhythms, conso-
nance, and other devices in the direction of natural speech. It has
altered the themes and subjects of poetry as much, until the Verboten
sign is unknown to the present generations of poets, as far as themes
are concerned. If the speech is natural and conversational; the treat-
ment sincere and original; the craftsmanship matured—there is no
reason in the poet's effort to withhold him from a seat among the
immortals.
• II •
THE TECHNIQUE OF
VERSIFICATION: RHYTHM
Accent and Rhythm
RHYTHM IS THE emphasis structure of successive sounds. It is easy to
understand and not easy to define. In prose and poetry it means the
flow of accented and unaccented syllables. It may be defined as:
The successive rise and fall of sounds, in pitch, stress, or speed;

when used of words, depending on accents, pauses, or durational
quantities.
In classical Greek and Latin poetry, rhythm was not based on accent,
but on the conventionalized time it took to pronounce syllables. Sylla-
bles were not accented or unaccented, as in modern poetry, from a
standpoint of versification; but were long or short. Since two conso-
nants occurring together made a syllable long, and a short vowel
made a syllable short when followed by one consonant, the word hon-
est was scanned as short-long: the rhythmic stress occurring on the
second syllable, not on the first, as with us. Honest, pronounced in the
classical Greek or Roman way, would be ta-TUM; with us, it is pro-
nounced rhythmically TUM-ta, the accent falling on the first syllable.
This one example will show why verse written in English accord-
ing to classical rules of scansion, based upon long and short syllables
instead of accent, is unnatural and only slightly pleasing to the ear. It
is no more at home among modern poets writing in English than
Greek clothing or the Greek language would be.
Modern poetry written in English must be in words whose rhythm,
based upon accent, tends toward uniformity rather than toward vari-
ety. Both prose and poetry have rhythm, the stream or flow of
accented and unaccented syllables; in prose the pattern constantly
varies, while in poetry it approaches some sort ofregularity.This is
clearly poetry:
Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
"Music, When Soft Voices Die,"
Percy Bysshe Shelley.
It would be no less poetry if it were set up:
Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory.

Odours, when sweet violets sicken, live within the sense
they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, are
heap'd for the beloveds bed.
And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone, Love itself
shall slumber on.
It did not take the line division to make this poetry. Technically, the
tendency toward regularity in the rhythm made it definitely verse and
not prose, while its emotional appeal, to most people, makes it
poetry. It is equally poetic in either typographic form. Set up the
opening of the first chapter of this book in the same line division:
The word poetry is often used

Loosely to mean whatever embodies
The products of imagination
And fancy, the finer emotions
And the sense of ideal beauty.

In this lax usage, men speak of
"The poetry of motion," the poetry
Of Rodin or Wagner, the poetry
This is prose. No magic worked by the line division can bring it any
closer to poetry. Only a comparative regularity in the alternation of
accented and unaccented syllables can make it acceptable verse; this,
plus the proper emotional appeal, alone can make it poetry.
11 THE TECHNIQUE OF VERSIFICATION: RHYTHM
Meter and Metric Feet

Meter is a comparatively regular rhythm in verse or poetry. There
are four common metric feet used in English verse. Their names are
taken over from classic durational or quantity meters. In the examples
below, the accented syllable is marked thus (/), and the unaccented
syllables thus (--). These feet are:
Accent
Name of Scan- Example pronun-
Foot sion Description Example Scanned ciation
w
Iamb ' Unaccent—accent Delight De-light ta-TUM
w
Trochee ' Accent—unaccent Going Go-ing TUM-ta
w
Anapest *-' ' Unaccent—unaccent— w w /
accent Appertain Ap-per-tain ta-ta-TUM
Dactyl ' ""- Accent—unaccent— / w w
unaccent Merrily Mer-ri-ly TUM-ta-ta
The first two feet listed below are occasionally encountered in

English verse, the third rarely or never.
/ /
Spondee ' ' Accent—accent Headlong Head-long TUM-TUM
w w w / _
Amphibrach ' Unaccent— Believing Be-liev-ing ta-TUM-ta
accent—un-
accent
w w
Pyrrhic Unaccent— with a with a
unaccent
In practice, the spondee may be used as an iamb or as a trochee; in

combination, we may have—
In head | -long flight

in which the word is used as a trochee;
He plunged ( head-long
in which the word is used as an iamb.

In actual verse and poetry, never forget that the actual rhythm of
the words, as normally uttered in a conversational tone, differs from
the artificial scansion pattern adopted. Take one of the most regular
five-foot iambic lines in the language:
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard,
Thomas Gray.
Scanned normally, as this would be spoken, we have the following

natural scansion:
- / W / - / , W / W , /
The curfew j tolls | the knell | of parting | day.
Here we have one iamb, two feet consisting of mere accented sylla-
bles for which we have no name, and two feet of three syllables each
(unaccent—accent—unaccent, or amphibrachs). Yet this is described
as an ideal iambic line, because the pattern indubitably is:
taTUM taTUM taTUM taTUM ta TUM
To make the actual line fit the planned iambic pattern, we have to
divide words as follows:
The cur-1 few tolls | the knell | of part-1 ing day.
Absolutely natural iambic lines are rare:
And dwell | upon | your grave | when you | are dead.

The Comedy of Errors, William Shakespeare.
A repetition of such lines would be monotonous, unnatural and intrin-

sically unpoetic.
To show a still further group of variations, the opening of Hamlet's
most famous soliloquy, commencing "To be or not to be," is theoreti-
cally in the same iambic five-foot pattern: three lines, each consisting
theoretically of five ta-TUM's. The actual scansion brings in strange
and unusual feet, or groups of unaccents with one accent, and shows
that these three lines have only four actual feet apiece (a foot being, in
English, normally grouped around one accent), where the pattern

called for five in each line:
To be I or not to be. | That | is the question.

Whether | 'tis nobler | in the mind | to suffer
The slings | and arrows | of outrageous | fortune . . .
Hamlet, William Shakespeare.
Here are four feet of two syllables each (two iambs and two trochees);
four of three syllables each (three amphibrachs and one anapest); one
of one syllable; and three of four syllables each (two of one type, one
of another). And only four natural feet to each line.
This is acceptable five-foot iambic verse, in the hands of the
world's greatest master. In later plays, his variations became more
extreme, until at times his rhythms were less regular than Whitman's
typical free verse or polyrhythmic poetry.
What is desired, in metric poetry, is a regular pattern, with
restrained freedom and variety in its use. The poet should learn to
scan his poetry—that is, to mark the accented and unaccented sylla-
bles as above, and then to divide it both into the natural speech
rhythm and into the artificial pattern rhythm. There is no need for
pride, if the poetry is excessively regular. As a rule, that means that it
is strained and unnatural in phrasing, and to that extent falls below
true greatness in technique.
In reading poetry aloud or to oneself, avoid most of all an unnatu-
ral singsong. Never read the lines from Hamlet as if they had been
printed:
to BE or NOT to BE that IS the QUES tion.
v/heTHER 'tis M>bler IN the MIND to SUFfer
the SLINGS and Art rows OF outflAgeous FORtune . . .
Instead, read this and all other poetry as naturally as if it were unpat-
terned prose. The pattern is there and will make itself felt. Excellence
in reading depends upon naturalness in expression.
Iambic Verse
The commonest line pattern in English verse is based upon the
iamb («-/). Many more words in English are trochees than iambs.
Iambic is the preferred pattern because such trochaic words are nor-
mally introduced by a one-syllabled unaccented article, preposition,
or the like. Normally lines do not open with the trochee hoping, but
rather with such a phrase as in hoping, for hoping, and hoping, this
hoping, if hoping, and so on.
Lines name the metric pattern and are described by the type of foot
and the number of feet to the line. Thus a one-foot iambic line could
be written:
All hail!
A two-foot iambic line would be:
All hail to you!
A three-foot iambic line would be:
All hail to you, my friends!
A four-foot iambic line would be:
All hail to you, my worthy friends!
A five-foot iambic line would be:
All hail to you, my wholly worthy friends!
Note how naturally trochaic words like wholly and worthy fit into this
iambic pattern. This line might have been:
In hailing friendship's wholly worthy sons,
in which case four words (hailing, friendship's, wholly, worthy) are

complete trochees in themselves, yet are transformed into word-split
units in the iambic pattern, by the introductory unaccented word in
and the concluding accented word sons. This is an entirely legitimate
following of the iambic pattern, which can be most easily remem-
bered as:
taTUM taTUM taTUM taTUM taTUM.

A word ending on an accented syllable is said to have a masculine

ending; one ending on an unaccented syllable, & feminine ending. The
iambic pattern may be used with a feminine ending: that is, with the
addition of an unaccented syllable to the last foot. A stanza of five
lines, successively one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-foot iambic lines
with feminine endings, could be manufactured easily:
Good morning,
Benignant April,
With all your rainbow blossoms,
With birds all carolling their rapture,
With love alive within the hearts of maidens.
The scansion for this would be: .
Good morn-1 ing,

_ / w / w
Benig- nant A- pril,

_ / _ / w / w
With all I your rain-1 bow bios-1 soms,
~ / ~ / L / w / w
With birds | all car-1 oiling | their rap- |ture,
w / ,w / / w / / ~
With love I alive | within | the hearts | of maid-1 ens.
This is often described as if the first line, for instance, were a two-
foot line, with one syllable missing, and is called catalectic verse. The
reality is that of an iambic foot followed by a loose or unattached,
unaccented syllable.
Writing iambic verse is as easy as writing any form of verse. Get
the metrical pattern firmly in mind:
taTUM taTUM taTUM taTUM
and then proceed to let the words flow into this pattern.
Iambic verse may be altered into trochaic at any time, by adding an
accented syllable to each line's beginning or by removing the opening
unaccented syllable. The process may be reversed as easily, thus
changing trochaic verse into iambic. Start with this iambic version:
And then the little Hiawatha

Remarked unto the old Nokomis,
I know that hills are edged with valleys.
By adding an accented syllable at the beginning of each line, this

becomes trochaic:
Now and then the little Hiawatha

Said aloud unto the old Nokomis,
Well I know that hills are edged with valleys.
By removing the opening unaccented syllable in each iambic line

above, the lines are four-foot trochaic:
Then the little Hiawatha

Said unto the old Nokomis,
All the hills are edged with valleys.
This is the regular meter of Longfellow's Hiawatha and is as easy to

write as iambic verse.
Trochaic Verse
Trochaic verse is less usual in English than iambic, because the
custom of the language is to introduce most remarks with an unac-
cented syllable or word. Based upon the trochee (/—), the pattern is,
in the case of four-foot trochees,
TUM-ta TUM-ta TUM-ta TUM-ta
Hiawatha opens upon this pattern:
Should you ask me, whence these stories,

Whence these legends and traditions,
With the odours of the forest,
With the dew and damp of meadows.
Hiawatha, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
In natural accent the first three of the lines quoted have only two
accents apiece, and not four: so that the natural scansion, as of the
third line, is
With the odours | of the forest.

Shakespeare commences a witches' incantation with the abrupt stac-

cato natural accent:
Round about the cauldron go;

In the poisoned entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Sweltered venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first f the charmed pot.
Macbeth, William Shakespeare.
An interesting variation here is the use of cold as a dissyllable, as if it
were pronounced co-old. It may be regarded as the one-syllabled cold,
followed by a pause consuming the length of time it would take to
pronounce an unaccented syllable. In any case, it is an effective vari-
ant device.
Trochaic verse might certainly be described with propriety as iam-
bic verse, with the introductory unaccented syllable omitted in each
line. The description is unimportant; the important thing is to choose,
understand, and use adequately the pattern, whatever it is called.
Again, in the sixth line quoted above from Macbeth, there is an
extra unaccented syllable, a sort of grace note, added: making the
second foot in reality a dactyl:
/ w / / ~ /
Boil thou | first i' the | charmed | pot.
If preferred, though it is less usual, this could be scanned slightly dif-
ferently:
/ _ / _ w • « /
Boil thou | first i' | the charmed | pot,
in which case there is an amphibrach in the third foot; or it might be

scanned:
/ _ , / _ - / _ /
Boil thou I first F | the char-1 med pot,
regarding it as two trochees followed by two iambs. But the accepted

pattern is trochaic four-foot, and the custom is to prefer the first scan-
sion given. At any time, within reason dictated by the poet's own
inner ear and sense of music, the substitution of an anapest or a dactyl

for an iamb or a trochee is permitted. Or the substitution of a spondee
( / / ) , and any of the other feet (iamb, trochee, dactyl or spondee, as
well as amphibrach, etc.) may be substituted for a foot in anapestic
verse. Similar substitutions may take place in dactylic verse. The best
poetry contains variety within uniformity.
Notice that in the trochaic lines from Macbeth the last unaccented
syllable is omitted in every line. This again gives an example of
catalectic verse. The name is unimportant: a trochaic line may end
on a masculine ending as easily as an iambic line ends on a femi-
nine ending. A dactylic line may end on a trochee or an accented
syllable; an anapestic line may have an extra unaccented syllable, or
even two of them, without losing its anapestic character. Variety in
uniformity ...
Anapestic Verse
The anapest ( — / ) is a foot of three syllables, the first two unac-
cented, the last accented. It may be described as an iamb with an
extra unaccented syllable added before it. It may be indicated ta ta
TUM, so that a three-foot anapestic pattern would be:
tataTUM tataTUM tataTUM.
A typical line following this pattern would be:
To the end of the world in the dawn.
The English language has more accented syllables than many others,
and a succession of two unaccented syllables is comparatively
infrequent. Constantly the anapestic pattern is broken by a foot called
the amphimacer (/"-/), accent—unaccent—accent, giving us a result
such as:
Let me go anywhere I can find,
scanned as anapestic thus:
Let me go | anywhere 11 can find,

but having a natural scansion consisting of three amphimacers:
Let me go | anywhere 11 can find.

There are so few natural anapests in the language that this is usual
and permitted. The same thing applies to dactylic verse. Even more
unusual three-syllabled feet appear, each with two accents: the
antibacchius (//w), the bacchius ( - / / ) , the tribrach (——), the
molossus ( / / / ) . In anapestic and dactylic verse, a fourth syllable,
usually unaccented, again like a grace note, may appear in any foot.
So long as such variations please the inner ear, the inner sense of
word music, they are aids.
The natural poet will always make his own patterns, knowing that
poetry is self-created and not devised by rigid rules.
Dactylic Verse
The dactyl (/-—) is a foot of three syllables, the first accented, the
next two unaccented. It may be described as a trochee with an extra
unaccented syllable added after it. Here is an illustration:
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they fought, and well. . . .
The Charge of the Light Brigade, Alfred Tennyson.
Scanned as dactylic verse, this would appear:
Cannon to right of them,
/ w - / - w
Cannon to left of them,

/ / w w
Cannon in | front of them

Volleyed and | thundered;
Boldly they | fought, and well.
As a matter of fact, these last two lines would have a different natural
scansion, including amphimacers:
/ , / _ /
/ . / ~ /
Boldly they | fought, and well.
Once the technique of scansion is mastered, the poet must be his own
court of last appeal upon it.
Dactylic verse is not wholly at home in English; and amphi-
brachic verse (using as its norm the amphibrach, *~/~) is as
much of an alien. These feet become excessively monotonous in long
poems, though they may be used with advantage in brief lyrics.
Variations in Metric Verse

The use of variations in metric verse is widespread. The develop-
ment of every poet of importance, whose technique did not
begin and remain rigid and crystallized, has been in the direction of
more and more variety. This is displayed impressively by the develop-
ment of Shakespeare and of Keats. Little such development is shown
in the technique of more rigid minor poets. A few examples must suf-
fice. Shakespeare in his final peak period wrote lines whose natural
scansion was as loose as:
A malady
Most in-1 cident) to maids; | bold oxlips and

The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds,
„ / / / w / , / /
The flow-1 er-de-luce | being one! O, these 11 lack. . . .
The Winter's Tale, William Shakespeare.
The most unusual usage is the ending of the second line in the
extraordinary foot which seems a spondee followed by a pyrrhic,
(//ww). The reverse foot opens a line in one of his sonnets,
~ w / / / - w / , - /
Of the wide world | dreaming [ on things | to come.

Sonnet CVII, William Shakespeare.
One of the most praised lines in Keats is:
Robs not I one light | seed from | the feath-1 er'd grass.
Hyperion, John Keats.
Here two spondees introduce the rest of the line, the scansion being as
if his pattern were—
TUMTUM TUMTUM TUM ta taTUM taTUM
Keats has at least one line, in the same pattern, consisting of five
trochees:
Thea! | Thea! | Thea! | Where is | Saturn?

Hyperion, John Keats.
Robert Frost has such masterly lines as the following, in the same
five-foot iambic pattern:
And spread her apron to it. She put out her hand. . . .
The Death of the Hired Man, Robert Frost.
Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
The Black Cottage, Robert Frost.
And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled.
"Out, Out—", Robert Frost.
So. But the hand was gone already.
In this last line the monosyllable So is followed by a pause that takes

the place of a foot and a half. One of Frost's most triumphant varia-
tions is:
Little—less—nothing! And that ended it.
In natural scansion, this would b»:
/_ / , / - , _ _ /
Little— J less— | nothing! | And that ended it
A common variation is an alternation of iamb and anapest, as in

this old English ballad:
w / . W W / . w / . w w / w
0 Al-1 ison Gross, | that lives | in yon tower.

Alison Gross, Old English Ballad.
We find the reverse of this order in a Browning lyric,
w w / w / . w w / . w /
Where the chaf-1 finch sings | on the or-1 chard bough. . . .

Home-Thoughts, from Abroad, Robert Browning.
So numerous are the variations to which the metric pattern in English
can be adapted, to the greater naturalness of the poetry.
Accent Pattern Instead of Metric

Coleridge, in one poem, abandoned the formal metric foot alto-
gether, in favor of a rediscovered Old English method of letting the
line pattern consist of a definite number of accents, with any number
of unaccented syllables, occurring in any order. Here are the opening
lines:
w w / . w w / w w / w S
'Tis the mid-1 die of night | by the cas-1 tie clock,

W w / . w w / w w / w /
And the owls have awakened the crowing cock.
/ / / /
lb-1 whit! I lb-1 whoo!
_ / W / w / . w /
And hark, ( again; | the crow-1 ing cock

w / w / , w /
How drow-1 sily | it crew.

Christabel, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Thomas Hood uses lines consisting of only three accented syllables,

/
, / , /
Stitch! | Stitch! | Stitch!
w / . w w / , w w /
In pov-1 erty, hung-1 er and dirt. . . .

The Song of the Shirt, Thomas Hood.
This follows the same method of accent versification. Walter de la

Mare's most famous poem is built around a pattern of three accents to
the line, as the second and fourth line below indicate; he uses unac-
cented syllables where he pleases:
But on-1 ly a host | of phantom listeners

That dwelt | in the lone | house then,
Stood lis-1 tening in the qui-1 et of the moonlight |
To that voice | from the world | of men.
The Listeners, Walter de la Mare.
Other modern poets have done as much, or more. Variety within uni-
formity . . .
Blank Verse and Free Verse

Blank verse means simply unrhymed verse. Any line pattern, if
unrhymed, is blank verse. Heroic blank verse is unrhymed five-foot
iambic poetry or verse. Most of Shakespeare is written in heroic
blank verse. Heroic couplets, beloved of Dryden and Pope, are pairs
of five-foot iambic lines rhymed with each other.
Free verse may be rhymed or unrhymed, although it is usually
unrhymed, since rhyming is an even more unnatural convention of
poetry than meter; and the poet who has abandoned formal meter
will hardly, as a rule, still use the device of rhyming. Free verse is
verse without a metric pattern, but with a wider pattern than meter
allows. It still tends toward regularity, rather than variety, and the
final court of appeals as to whether any example should be classified
as poetry or prose from a standpoint of content, or as verse or prose
from a standpoint of technique, is the individual poet or reader him-
self. To many readers, the following are all poetry:
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou
art God. Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, return, ye
children of men. . . .
The Ninetieth Psalm.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot conse-

crate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did
here. . . .
The Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln.
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, out of the mockingbird's

throat, the musical shuttle, out of the Ninth-month midnight, over
the sterile sands, and the fields beyond, where the child leaving his
bed wandered alone, bareheaded, barefoot, down from the show-
ered halo, up from the mystic play of shadows twining and twisting
as if they were alive. . . .
Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking,
Walt Whitman.
Walt Whitman used the artificial line division of poetry to pre-

sent the third of these selections; the King James version of the Bible
and Lincoln used the natural line division so familiar in the printing
of prose. Little or nothing is added by the artificial line division:
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,

Out of the mocking-bird's throat, the musical shuttle,
Out of the Ninth-month midnight,
Over the sterile sands, and the fields beyond, where the
child leaving his bed wandered alone, bareheaded,
barefoot,
Down from the showered halo,
Up from the mystic play of shadows twining and
twisting as if they were alive. . . .
It is poetry, to many, in either form; and the first form is the more
natural and readable. Scan the Whitman selection, or any of the oth-
ers, and the tendency toward regularity of rhythm becomes apparent:
a wider regularity, perhaps only an up rhythm or a down rhythm, but
still inevitably there. This distinguishes free verse from prose, from
the technical point of view.
At times writers of free verse let their lines reach surprising
lengths, no matter how lovely the music is: thus Sandburg,
Pocahontas' body, lovely as a poplar, sweet as a red haw in Novem-

ber or a pawpaw in May, did she wonder? does she remember?
in the dust, in the cool tombs. . . .
Cool Tombs, Carl Sandburg.
Again the lines can be extremely brief:

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Fog, Carl Sandburg.
The free verse writer devises his own line-division pattern. This
form, eliminating the devices of meter and rhyme, calls on the poet to
avoid the inconsequential and the trivial, and to write down only his
important utterances. If rhyme is a shelter for mediocrity, as Shelley
wrote in his preface to The Revolt of Islam, free verse is a test of the
best that the poet has in him.
Line Length in Verse

Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself a doctor, advanced the theory that
line length in verse marked physiologically the normal breathing of
the poet. In other words, a breath should be taken at the end of each
line; and the line should be no longer than the poet's ability to hold
his breath. No artificial line division is used in prose, to indicate
where a breath should be taken. There is no greater reason for artifi-
cial line division in poetry. It still remains true that the long Greek
lines, each consisting of six feet, called for huge-breasted warrior-
bards to chant them; that the norm of English verse, the five-foot
iambic line, indicates a lesser chest expansion in the typical English
poet; and that the briefer modern tendency shows a further deteriora-
tion in the chest expansion of poets.
Where poetry consists in end-stopped lines—lines with a natural
pause at the end of each line—there is more reason for an artificial
line division. Shakespeare began so; many poets never get beyond
this, in the main. But when we come to poetry like—
We are such stuff

As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep,

The Tempest, William Shakespeare.
the break comes after on, and not after stuff or life; and the last reason
for the artificial line division has vanished.
A sonnet set up in this manner appears:
O bitter moon, O cold and bitter moon, climbing your midnight

hillside of bleak sky, the earth, as you, once knew a blazing noon.
Night brings the silver hour when she will die. We shall be cold as
you are, and as bitter, icily circling toward a tepid fire, playing at
life with our deceitful glitter, past joy, past hope, forever past desire.
Yet still the forest lifts its leafy wings to flutter for a while before
the chill. And still the careless heart is gay, and sings in the green
temple on the dusty hill. And the gulls tumble, and the homing ships
peer for the harbor. . . .
And the sand drips.
The Flight of the Eagle, v, Clement Wood.
In an earlier volume, this had appeared with the usual line division of
poetry as ordinarily printed. Rhyme can occur of course in ordinary
prose, although this usage is extremely rare. Where the rhythm of
verse is used, as in the sonnet quoted, it is possible for poets to use
the line and paragraph division usual to prose, if this is desired.

THE TECHNIQUE OF
VERSIFICATION: RHYME
Correct and Incorrect Rhyme
RHYME IS AS simple to define as rhythm is difficult.
Rhyme is the identity in sound of an accented vowel in a word, usu-

ally the last one accented, and of all consonantal and vowel sounds
following it; with a difference in the sound of the consonant imme-
diately preceding the accented vowel.
Rhyme deals exclusively with sounds and has nothing to do with

spelling. The rhyming dictionary terminating this book is strictly
phonetic and therefore logical and useful.
Correct rhymes may be spelled alike:
ate, plate, mate, abate, syncopate.
They may be spelled differently:
ate, bait, straight, freight.
In this case the spelling is immaterial.

So called "eye rhymes"—that is, words spelled alike that look alike
but are pronounced differently—are not rhymes at all; they slip into
versification, if at all, as consonance, which will be discussed later.
That is, the incorrect rhyme
earth, hearth
so popular among English versifiers, is no more a rhyme than the

following sets of words identically spelled, but pronounced differ-
ently:
cow, blow
climber, timber
finger, ginger, singer
cough, enough, plough, though, through.
Identities do not rhyme, no matter what the spelling is; since the
preceding consonantal sounds must differ. The following are identi-
ties, and not rhymes:
bay, obey
bare, bear, forbear
laying, overlaying
ability, possibility, probability.
Sounds almost alike, after the identical accented vowel sounds, do
not rhyme. These are properly called assonance and have not suc-
ceeded as a versification device in English. Examples are:
main, game, reins, lamed

hate, shape, played
feed, sleet, creep
sandwich, orange, lozenge
childhood, wildwood
Norfolk, war talk
anguish, Flatbush
silver, deliver
You can find examples of incorrect rhymes in poems by many

accepted poets, and in a much higher percentage of popular songs and
newspaper versification. Two of the above examples were taken
directly out of songs nationally popular. Slovenly rhyming is one of
the sure signs of mediocrity in versification. Learn correct rhyming
first; then, if you wish to break the rule you understand, that is your
privilege.
The language's poverty in rhyming has caused the following
almost-rhymes to become widely accepted:
given, Heaven; bosom, blossom; shadow, meadow;

God, road; war, more; bliss, is; was, grass.
Among widely used "eye rhymes," which are not rhymes at all, but
mere identities in spelling, are:
31 THE TECHNIQUE OF VERSIFICATION: RHYME
earth, hearth; bare, are; north, forth; real, steal.
Bosom-blossom, was-grass are combinations of consonance and asso-

nance; bliss-is is assonance; the others in the first list are consonance.
The first three pairs in the second set are acceptable consonance;
real, steal is an attempt to rhyme a two-syllabled word with a one-syl-
labled one and has no justification from any standpoint. Use conso-
nance or assonance purposely, if desired; but always know that this is
not correct rhyming.
If the poet is tone-deaf as to sounds, it is best to rely upon the pho-
netic symbols above each group of rhyming words in the rhyming dic-
tionary that terminates this book, or upon dictionary markings. Many
people cannot distinguish the obvious difference in sounds between
this pair of words, which do not rhyme:
north, forth.
Take away the th sound, and many people still hear no difference
between this pair of words, which do not rhyme:
nor, fore.
Take away the r sound, and some people still hear no difference
between this pair of words, which do not rhyme:
gnaw, foe.
Gnaw plus r plus th cannot rhyme with/oe plus r plus th. If in doubt
as to such off-rhymes, follow the phonetic markings.
A third common error in rhyming comes from such mispronuncia-
tions as dropping a terminal -g. These do not rhyme:
martin, parting,
herding, burden.
They may be rhymed colloquially, that is, in quoted words, as

follows:
martin, partin',
herdin', burden,
the latter being not quite a rhyme at that. But unless writing collo-
quially, do not use such incorrect rhymes as those given first above. A
similar error comes from ignoring the r sounds, which causes such
off-rhymes as:
court (pronounced cou't, like coat), boat

Lord (pronounced Lawd), gaud.
Rhymes can be made of two or more words. Here are examples of

perfect rhymes:
satin, flat in.
Quentin, went in.
pray tin, hate in.
Such couplings are more appropriate to light and humorous verse

than to serious poetry. Rhyming must always give the effect of unob-
trusive naturalness, or it fails of its proper effect.
Robert Browning is in a class by himself in fantastic many-word
rhymings and near-rhymings, often in serious verse:
The wolf, fox, bear and monkey

By piping advice in one key. . . .
Pacchiarotto, and How He Worked
in Distemper, et cetera,
Robert Browning.
This is not a rhyme, because monkey is, phonetically, a rhyme sound

for ungki, or at best ungke; and one key is, phonetically, a rhyme
sound for unke, the unguessed g sound in the first spoiling it as a
rhyme. Again, in the same poem, he uses this fantastic coupling:
While, treading down rose and ranunculus,

You Tommy-make-room-for-your-uncle-us!
Ranunculus has its rhyme sound ungk'-u-lus; the next line, ungk'-
ool-us: a minor difference, but enough to spoil the rhyme. Much
closer is Byron's celebrated couplet:
O ye lords of ladies intellectual,

Inform us truly, have they not henpecked you all?
Don Juan, I, xxii, Lord Byron.
The unaccented last syllable of the first line differs from the unac-
cented last syllable of the second with the difference of a and 6.
Barham furnishes many perfect many-worded rhymes, such as:
Should it even set fire to one's castle and burn it, you're
Amply insured for both building and furniture. . . .
Sir Rupert the Fearless,
Richard Harris Barham (Thomas Ingoldsby).
Samuel Hoffenstein furnishes a splendid example:
You haven't the nerve to take bichloride;

You lie up nights till you're gaunt and sore-eyed.
Poems in Praise of Practically Nothing,
Samuel Hoffenstein.
In using such rhyme combinations, it is wise to put the combination

with the inevitable sound first; bichloride; following this with
the combination of words to rhyme with it. Thus W. S. Gilbert, a mas-
ter rhymester, uses in this order:
monotony, got any.

cerebellum too, tell 'em to.
In light and humorous verse, such rhyming cleverness is a crown; in

serious verse, if used sparingly, it is permitted.
Function and 'types of Rhyme

In serious verse, since obvious cleverness defeats the appeal to the
serious emotions, rhyming should be unobtrusive. To have your
rhyme words merely conveniences demanded by your rhyming pat-
tern is one of the chief faults of rhymed verse.
Rhyme is a potent shaper. Once you have written down a line of
verse or poetry, and intend to have the next line or the next line but
one rhyme with it, your choice of terminal words for the rhyming line
is limited by the limited rhyming resources of the language. If a poet
commences,
October is the wildest month,

he has estopped himself from any rhyme, since month has no rhyme
in English.
Assuming that the first line's rhyming word has certain rhyming
mates, the choice of terminal rhyme words for the rhyming line is
limited to these; and the direction of the poet's thought and its expres-
sion must be deflected into some natural use of one of these rhyming
mate words. Rhyming is a brain stimulant and may even spur on the
poetic imagination. The meaning of the planned poem may have been
clear in the mind; but its expression, if rhyme is used, must work in
limited fields, and only the master achieves in these that finality of
natural utterance which is one of the charms of great poetry.
To the authentic poet, especially the living poet, there is no such
thing as poetic license: the right to warp and twist the language out of
its natural order or grammar, to suit the exigencies of rhyme. Mr.
Browning continued his Tommy-make-room-for-your-uncle-us cou-
plet with this:
Quick march! for Xanthippe, my housemaid,

If once on your pates she a souse made. . . .
I would not for worlds be your place in,
Recipient of slops from the basin!
What Browning meant, in the direct natural order, was:
Quick march! for Xanthippe, my housemaid,

If once she made a souse on your pates,
I would not for worlds be in your place,
Recipient of slops from the basin!
Even this is unnatural; the real order would be "Quick march! for if
once Xanthippe, my housemaid, made . . ." etc. Let us suppose that
inspiration worked with him in the erratic fashion quoted above. Then
would be the time for the critical sense to come in, and rigorously to
eliminate all such evidences of poetic license—inversions, ungram-
matical constructions, and the like. Not one has a place in poetry,
more than in speech.
This is a rigid rule to lay down. It is not any individual's rule. It is
the rule that Shakespeare followed when he wrote:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
This was written some three hundred years ago. There is not an obso-
lete or even archaic word in it, not a strained construction, not an
inversion or instance of ungrammatical poetic license. The quotation
given in fragmentary form from Browning, which includes ranun-
culus, homunculus, skoramis, and countless inversions, was outdated
long ago: the words of Shakespeare live. The best of Burns, of Shel-
ley, of the Keats of Hyperion, of the best among the modern poets,
always follows this rule: no inversions, no archaisms, no poetic
license. This is the price of a chance for wide poetic greatness.
To return to the strict technique of rhyming, one-syllabled rhymes
are called single or masculine rhymes. Examples are:
we, flee, sea, apostrophe, harmony,

disk, tamarisk, odalisque,
fling, sing, carolling.
In the last pair of the first grouping, and the third rhymes in the oth-
ers, note that only a secondary accent falls on the rhyming syllable.
This is enough. A rhyme may be more smothered, if read naturally—
a modern variation in which it may be said that an accented syllable is
rhymed with an unaccented one: such as anguish, wish; ring, wedding.
Used sparingly, this is effective.
Two-syllabled rhymes are called double or feminine rhymes.
Examples are:
ocean, motion, devotion,

traded, aided, play did.
see us, flee us.
Three-syllabled rhymes are called triple rhymes. Examples:

saleable, mailable.
lyrical, miracle, empirical, satirical.
going now, blowing now.
rest of it, best of it, palimpsest of it.
There may be rhymes, especially in light verse, of four or even more

syllables. A rhyme like the one last given shows iittle cleverness, since
it is merely "rest, best, palimpsest" with the phrase "of it" added. The
lack of cleverness makes it more suitable for serious poetry than for
light verse.
End rhyme is used at the end of the lines. Here is an example, the
rhyming words being italicized, and the rhyme scheme indicated by
the corresponding numerals:
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, 1

Old Time is still a-flying; 2
And this same flower that smiles today, 1
Tomorrow will be dying. 2
Counsel to Girls, Robert Herrick.
Rhyme 1 is a single or masculine rhyme; rhyme 2 is a double or femi-

nine rhyme.
Internal rhyme is rhyme used within the line, to give added effec-
tiveness by a closer repetition of the rhyming sounds.
"Each day, all day," these poor folk say,
"In the same old year-long, drear-long way.
We weave in the mills and heave in the kilns.
We sieve mine-meshes under the hills,
And thieve much gold from the Devil's bank tills.
To relieve, O God, what manner of ills?"
The Symphony, Sidney Lanier.
Here year-long rhymes internally with drear-long; weave, heave,
sieve, thieve and relieve are further internal rhymes; and mills is an
internal rhyme to kilns and the three next end rhymes.
Undesirable Rhymes
Incorrect rhymes, or rhymes constructed by straining the natural
expression into inversions and grammatical perversions, excused on
THE TECHNIQUE OF VERSIFICATION: RHYME
the outworn plea of poetic license, are always undesirable. Quite as un-
desirable are rhymes which are hackneyed and overworked, such as:
kiss, bliss.
yearn, burn; yearning, burning.
love, dove, above.
fire, desire.
trees, breeze.
These are unobjectionable technically. But they have been so used and
overused by other poets that the only excuse for them today is use in
an entirely new manner.
It is the fact that most rhymes have been comparatively overworked
that has caused the tendency toward consonance, which is such a
marked feature of modern poetry, from Emily Dickinson onward.
Alliteration
Alliteration, like rhyme, is a repetition of sounds. But the sound
repeated is only the initial consonant of syllables or words. This was
one of the major devices of Anglo-Saxon poetry, which did not use
rhyme. Langland's Piers Plowman opens:
In a summer season, when soft was the sun,

I shope me in shroudes, as I a sheep were
The Vision of Piers Plowman, William Langland.
Alliteration is used effectively by later poets in connection with

rhyme, as this example illustrates:
Whether /empter sent, or whether rempest rossed thee here ashore,

Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted,
In this home by //orror /jaunted, tell me truly, I implore.
The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe.
If not overused, this is highly effective. Swinburne was one of the

masters of alliteration, tending to overuse it, as in—
The /ilies and /anguors of virtue

For the roses and rapture of vice.
Dolores, Algernon Charles Swinburne.
Where there is no sense of unnaturalness in the repetition of allitera-

tive sounds, it may be successfully employed.
Assonance
Assonance, called also vowel rhyme, consists in the identity of the
final accented vowel sound, with dissimilarity in the subsequent con-
sonantal and vowel sounds. It was used in Provencal and Old French
poetry, and is still used in Spanish. George Eliot tried unsuccessfully
to introduce it into English, the assonances being italicized:
Maiden crowned with glossy blackness,

Lithe as panther forest-roaming.
Long-armed naead, when she dances.
On the stream of ether floating.
Bright, O bright Fedalma!
Song of Joan, in The Spanish Gipsy,
George Eliot.
The repetition here is not sufficiently marked to make this device
popular in English versification. Typical groups of assonantal mascu-
line or single-rhyrrted endings are:
grab, crack, had, tan, sham, hang, fat

face, shade, hate, pain, claim, male
led, wreck, hem, then, set, step
bide, kine, fight, pipe, wise, advice
In feminine endings, we would have:

aiming, faded, scraping, hailing, painter, lateness
roaming, floated, coping, goader, golden
coming, dumbness, stubborn, rustle
Unpopular so far, at any time assonance may achieve a popularity

in English versification.
Consonance
Consonance, also loosely called off rhymes, sour rhymes and ana-
lyzed rhymes, consists in an identity of all consonantal and vowel
sounds after the accented vowel; and a difference in the accented

vowels. An improvised model would be:
There's a golden willow
Underneath a hill.
By a babbling shallow
Brook and waterfall;
And a mill-wheel turning
Under moon and sun.
As if gently scorning
Time and tide and man.
There can be any combination of end and internal consonance
with end or internal rhyme in the same poem, according to the best
modern practice: the poet himself being the judge of what form is
most pleasing to his inner sense of music, and that of his prospective
readers.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, in The Poet and His Book, uses these
pairs of words in consonance:
worry, bury; withered, gathered; cluttered, spattered; quarrel, lau-
rel; hunters, winter's; valleys, bellies.
She also twice uses assonance:
cupboard, upward; only, homely.
Elinor Wylie uses such instances of consonance as:
bloody, body; people, ripple; mourner, corner; primer, dreamer;

standard, pondered; noble, trouble; music, physic; Circe, hearsay;
Vulcan, falcon; languish, distinguish; lost, ghost; sword, lord; suns,
bronze;
and many more. Emily Dickinson is more lavish in her use of conso-
nance than any of these.
The reason has been hinted before: the limited field of rhymes in
the language, in spite of the impressive length of any rhyming dic-
tionary. One advantage of a phonetic rhyming dictionary is that it
makes the use of precise and accurate consonance possible. Words are
arranged by rhyme and not by consonance; and yet the phonetic
arrangement gives a start toward arriving at accurate consonance. If
the following method is used, consonance can be achieved by little

more effort than is required for rhyme.
There are five a sounds that occur in accented syllables; three e s;
two / 's; six o 's; and three u 's, or a total of nineteen vowel sounds
appearing in accented syllables. Most of these sets are grouped
together: most of the a's; two of the e 's (omitting the e followed by r,
which appears only when er is reached); both of the /'s, and so on.
Thus AD is followed by AD and this by AD, so that we may proceed
directly from rhyming sounds like aid to sad and then to charade. In
double rhymes, O 'le, OL 'e and OL 'e follow in regular sequence; thus
holy, Macaulay and folly are near neighbors.
Suppose it is desired to locate all the consonance sounds possible
for a line ending with holy. Turn under the a's to all the phonetic sym-
bols similar to O'le—A'le (as, daily), AL'e (as, alley); under e, to
E 'le (as, freely), EL 'e (as, jelly); under i, to / 'le (as, dryly) and IL'e
(as, hilly); also under o to OOL 'e (as, woolly), OIL 'e (as, oily); under
u, to O'le (as truly) and UL'e (as, dully). Look up also OUL'e and
other possible vowel combinations, to make sure there are no rhyme
sounds under them. And now the poet has an accurate test to see
which words are in precise consonance with holy, and which are not.
Thus this most modern of all sound-repetition devices in English
versification can be achieved most perfectly through the use of a pho-
netic rhyming dictionary. The phonetic symbols, of course, must be in
precise alphabetical order. Turn, under each of the five vowels (not
forgetting the vowel sounds Ol, OO, and Oil come alphabetically
also), to the vowel followed by the identical consonant and vowel
sounds following the accented vowel in the rhymed syllable you wish
consonances for; and all consonances that the lists of words afford
will be found.
There is small adventure in rhyming, except in the made rhymes of
two or more words more common to light verse. Compilers of
rhyming dictionaries have completed the adventure long ago. There is
great adventure in the use of consonance, which expands the sound-
repetition resources of the language. It is possible to write a poem
where not one of the consonance couplets has been used before. The
adventurous will not overlook this.

piece of formal verse as a ballade, requiring fourteen rhymes on one

sound, no two of which could be identical, it is advisable to be able to
improvise your own temporary rhyming dictionary.
The method is simple. First write down all the single, double and
triple consonantal sounds you can remember. It is not necessary to
write down all of them, although for your convenience the list on page
41 is approximately complete.
Having jotted down as many of these as you remember, test the
rhyme sound desired against this table, and write out the results.
Thus, if the rhymes to aye, the long A sound, are desired, the poet
would get, to begin with, of the single consonantal sounds:
aye, bay, day, fay, gay, hay, jay, kay or cay, lay, may, nay or neigh,
pay, ray, say, decollete for the t sound, survey for the v sound, way,
yea.
Be careful, when a one-syllabled rhyme in such an instance is miss-

ing, to use ingenuity to find longer words with the desired rhyme, as
decollete, survey.
Then, for the double consonantal sound rhymes, the following
could be added:
redouble for the bl sound, bray, dray, flay, fray, gray, clay, McCrae
for the cr sound, play, pray or prey, shay, risque for the sk sound,
slay, dismay perhaps for the sm sound, stay, sway, they, tray, tway.
In addition, the triple consonantal sounds would give:
splay, spray, stray.
Altogether this has furnished thirty-nine rhymes for aye: and this is
more than enough to satisfy the requirements of any formal verse.
Suppose only four rhymes for the purposes of the rhyming pattern
are needed, and the poet decides to use huge as one of them. Using
the above rhyming dictionary, only a group of/rhymes are discov-
ered—febrifuge, subterfuge, vermifuge and so on; and perhaps, if the
poet is expert in pronunciation, gamboge, which also rhymes with it.
But no fourth rhyming sound. The huge rhyme sound would then have
to be discarded and some other sound tried.
Try a double rhyme, ended. Using this mental rhyming dictionary,
the poet discovers:
43 THE COMPLETE RHYMING DICTIONARY
ended, bended, fended or defended, Jen did, Len did, mended or

amended, depended, rended, tended or attended, vended, wended,
and, using double and triple consonantal initial sounds,
blended, friended and befriended, expended for sp, extended for st,
trended, then did, splendid,
and this can be supplemented with men did and many other two-word
rhymes. Here are at least eighteen rhyming mates, which can be used
as the 2 rhyme in a ballade, which requires fourteen rhyming mates.
So even if the rhyming dictionary is left behind, a mental rhyming
dictionary can always be improvised, once the mechanism is learned.

STANZA PATTERNS
The Couplet
A SINGLE LINE of poetry is called, technically, a verse of poetry. A
series of lines arranged formally as a part of a poem is called a
stanza. Stanza forms may be rigid, with a fixed order of sequence as
to line length, meter, or rhyme; or they may be mere divisions of a
poem, corresponding to the paragraphs of prose.
The simplest stanza is one of two lines, called a couplet. The word
couplet is used to mean either a two-line poem, or a two-line stanza—
that is, a part of a poem; and this is equally true of triplets or tercets,
quatrains and so on. It may be rhymed:
"Where are you going, my pretty maid?" 1

"I'm going a milking, sir," she said. 1
Mother Gooses Nursery Rhymes.
Naturally, if our stanza has only two lines, it can be rhymed in only
one way: each line followed immediately by its rhyming mate. This is
called rhyming in couplets, and is indicated by 1, 1. The second
rhyme sound used in the poem would be designated by 2, the third by
3, and so on. Thus a series of couplet stanzas, if rhymed, would be
rhymed 1, 1; 2; 3, 3; and so on. This is called couplet rhyming, a term
used of any lines rhymed in this fashion, even when not divided into
separate couplet stanzas.
Five-foot iambic lines rhymed couplet fashion are called heroic
couplets. This was the favorite measure employed by Dryden and
Pope, who enriched the language with many polished quotations:
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien I

As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; 1
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, 2
We first endure, then pity, then embrace. 2
An Essay on Man, Alexander Pope.
45 STANZA PATTERNS
These pairs of lines are not stanzas, much less complete two-line
poems. Thus couplet is used with the third meaning of a method of
rhyming—the 1, 1; 2, 2 method.
A couplet need not be rhymed: it may be an unrhymed two-line
poem, or two-line stanza. It may be in any rhythm or combination of
rhythms.
The Triplet or Tercet

A group of three lines, whether a complete poem or a stanza, is
called a triplet, or tercet. This is not as common a form as the couplet
or the four-line form, the quatrain. An example is:
A still small voice spake unto me, 1

"Life is so full of misery, 1
Were it not better not to be?" 1
The Two Voices, Alfred Tennyson.
It is clear that with three lines to work from, theJines in such a group
might be rhymed 1, 1, 2, in which the third line rhymes with nothing
in the triplet; or 1, 2, 2; or 1, 2, 1. In the case of groups of triplet
stanzas, the rhymes may be interlocked:
Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is: 1

What if my leaves are falling like its own! 2
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies 1
Will take from both a deep autumnal tone, 2
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, 3
My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one! 2
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe 3
Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth! 4
And, by the incantation of this verse, 3
Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth 4
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind! 5
Be through my lips to unawakened earth 4
The trumpet of a prophecy! O wind, 5
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? 5
Ode to the West Wind, Percy Bysshe Shelley.
This interlocked rhyming, where the unrhymed middle line of one

triplet becomes the rhymed first and third lines of the next, the whole
ending with a thirteenth and fourteenth line rhyming with the
unrhymed central line of the preceding triplet, is a special Italian
verse stanza form, called terza rima. As Shelley used it, it might be
regarded as an apt variation of the Shakespearean sonnet. It may be
constituted of less or more triplets, always followed by such a con-
cluding couplet.
Notice, in the hands of this master, the rhyming devices. Is-har-
monies illustrates rhyming a primary accent with a secondary one:
and the secondary one is an indeterminate sound, more often rhymed
with seas than with is, which gives it the effect of partial consonance.
Fierce-universe is consonance, not rhyme, as is birth-hearth-earth,
long defended as an "eye rhyme," but admissible as consonance. The
same is true of mankind-wind-behind. It is incorrect to pronounce the
noun wind as if it were the verb to wind; wind here rhymed with
thinned, and is in consonance with behind.
Triplets may be in any rhythm, including free verse or polyrhythm.
And they may be unrhymed:
I have had playmates, I have had companions,

In my days of childhood, in my joyful school-days;
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
I have been laughing, I have been carousing,
Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies;
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
The Old Familiar Faces, Charles Lamb.
In this poem Lamb invented his own pattern—unrhymed six-foot

trochaic in the main, with seven feet in the fifth line; and with the
terminal line of each triplet a refrain, repeated without alteration.
Any poet may make his own pattern for any poem he wishes; and, if
it finds favor, it may become a standard pattern.
The Quatrain
A quatrain is a stanza or poem of four lines. This is the most popu-
lar brief stanza in English versification, and has a variety of familiar
rhyme schemes. Ordinary ballad meter was originally seven-foot
iambic rhymed couplets:
47 STANZA PATTERNS
As Robin Hood in the forest strayed, all under the greenwood

tree, 1
He was aware of a brave young man, as fine as fine might be. 1
Old English Ballad.
As normally printed today, this becomes a quatrain, with the first and
third lines unrhymed, and only the second and fourth rhyming—a
rhyme scheme that may be used with other meters as well, and with
any number of feet to each line:
As Robin Hood in the forest strayed, 1

All under the greenwood tree, 2
He was aware of a brave young man, 3
As fine as fine might be. 2
Almost as popular is the quatrain rhymed on alternate lines:
A violet by a mossy stone 1

Half-hidden from the eye! 2
—Fair as a star, when only one 1
Is shining in the sky. 2
The Lost Love, William Wordsworth.
Quatrains may be rhymed couplet-wise:
Tiger, tiger, burning bright 1

In the forests of the night, 1
What immortal hand or eye 2
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 2
The Tiger, William Blake.
Note that this is not indented: that is, that line two is set directly
under line one. The purpose of indentation is primarily to show the
rhyme scheme: lines rhyming with each other may be normally set
beneath each other, as in the two previous examples. Indentation is
used either to show identities of rhyme, or to center briefer lines in a
stanza or poem.
The In Memoriam stanza is built upon a four-foot iambic pattern,
rhymed as follows:
Ring out old shapes of foul disease; 1

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; 2
Ring out the thousand wars of old, 2

Ring in the thousand years of peace. 1
In Memoriam, Alfred Tennyson.
Edward Fitzgerald's translation or recreation of the quatrains or

Rubdiydt of Omar Khayyam has one of the most famous quatrain
rhyme patterns in the language, using five-foot iambic lines:
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, 1

Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit 1
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line 2
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. 1
The Rubdiydt of Omar Khayyam,
translated by Edward Fitzgerald.
Other possible quatrain rhyme arrangements are: 1, 1, 1, 1; 1, 1,

1, 2; 2, 2, 2, 2; 1, 2, 1, 1; 1, 2, 3, 1; 1, 1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3, 3; 1, 2,
2, 3; and no doubt others. Hereafter, no additional rhyming patterns
will be listed, since by now it should be understood that none is
forbidden.
As for the number of feet to the line in these quatrains, the number
for the better-known patterns is as follows:
Ballad Meter, 4, 3, 4, 3. Called also Long Meter in hymns.

In Memoriam, 4, 4, 4, 4.
Rubdiydt, 5, 5, 5, 5.
Short Meter (in hymns), 3, 3, 4, 3.
This last was popular in the sixteenth century as Poulter's measure.

These four are all in iambic lines. Of course, any metric foot or com-
bination of feet may be employed. It need not be repeated again that
the quatrain, as any other stanza, may be unrhymed or may be in
polyrhythm.
Stanzas of More Than Four Lines

A five-line stanza or poem is called a cinquain. Adelaide Crapsey
invented one containing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1 iambic feet respectively in
the lines:
49 STANZA PATTERNS
These be
Three silent things:
Hie falling snow . . . the hour
Before the dawn . . . the mouth of one
Just dead.
Triad, Adelaide Crapsey.
A rhymed cinquain is used in one of Shelley's best-known odes:
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! 1
Bird thou never wert, 2
That from heaven, or near it, 1
Pourest thy full heart 2
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art. 2
To a Skylark, Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Notice how the indentation centers the briefer lines, as well as indi-
cating, in the first four, rhyming mates. The number of feet here is 3,
3, 3, 3, 6. A terminal six-foot iambic line is called an Alexandrine;
this was constantly used with iambic five-foot lines as a terminal.
Shelley uses this pattern throughout his poem To a Skylark. Foe,
another master craftsman, altered his rhyme and meter pattern from
stanza to stanza in his greatest lyrics. The familiar love song To Helen
("Helen, thy beauty is to me—") has, in his three cinquains or five-
line stanzas, these three different rhyme arrangements; 1,2, 1, 2, 2;
3, 4, 3, 4, 3; 5, 6, 6, 5, 6. To his inner musical ear, these changes
were more musical than regularity could have been.
A six-line stanza is called a sextet or sestet. Here is an example:
Fear no more the heat o' the sun 1

Nor the furious winter's rages; 2
Thou thy worldly task hast done, 1
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages: 2
Golden lads and girls all must, 3
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. 3
Dirge from Cymbeline, William Shakespeare.
The trochaic pattern here is four-foot lines. One of the favorite stan-
zas of Robert Burns has the iambic pattern of 4 , 4 , 4 , 2,4, 2; as in his
To a Field-Mouse:
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie, 1

0 what a panic's in thy breastie! 1
Thou need na start awa sae hasty, 1
Wi' bickering brattle! 2
1 wad be laith to rin and chase thee 1
Wi' murd'ring pattle! 2
To a Field-Mouse, Robert Burns.
The consonance beastie, breastie, hasty, chase thee was to be

expected in the hands of a master. A popular pattern (using an
unusual trochaic 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2 measure) was used by Whittier:
And if I should live to be 1

The last leaf upon the tree 1
In the spring, 2
Let them laugh, as I do now, 3
At the old, forsaken bough 3
Where I cling. 2
The Last Leaf, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
This may be used in longer stanzas, with a scheme such as 1, 1, 1, 2,
3, 3, 3, 2, a variant of this being popularized by Tennyson:
Willows whiten, aspens quiver, 1

Little breezes dusk and shiver 1
Through the wave that runs for ever 1
By the island in the river 1
Flowing down to Camelot. 2
Four gray walls, and four gray towers, 3
Overlook a space of flowers, 3
And the silent isle embowers 3
The Lady of Shalott. 2
The Lady of Shalott, Alfred Tennyson.
This stanza is called a tail rhyme stanza and is a mere elaboration of
the pattern of The Last Leaf.
Certain Other Stanzas

It may seem like profanation to some, to subject to the critical
scalpel such a masterpiece as Keats's Ode to a Grecian Urn. But the
51 STANZA PATTERNS
poem suffers no loss from the process, for the reader returns to it to
find it all uninjured in the end; and no other method will permit an
understanding of the technical achievement involved in such lasting
beauty. Here are five ten-line stanzas. Each opens with a 1, 2, 1,2
sequence. Thereafter there are differences. The first and last have the
next six lines 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 5; the fourth and fifth use instead 3, 4, 5,
3, 4, 5; while the second has 3, 4, 5, 3, 5, 4.
A famous seven-lined stanza is called Rhyme Royal. This was used
by James I of Scotland in his The Kinges Quhair, and repeatedly by
Chaucer and others. Here is a typical use by Chaucer:
To you, my purse, and to none other wight 1
Complain I, for ye be my lady dear. 2
I am full sorry, now that ye be light, 1
For, certes, ye now make be heavy cheer. 2
Me were as lief-y laid upon my bier 2
For which unto your mercy thus I cry, 3
Be heavy again, or elles mote I die. 3
The Complaint to His Empty Purse, Geoffrey Chaucer.
This has a terminal couplet rhyming 3, 3, which breaks the flow of
the narrative somewhat. To avoid this, the Canopus stanza points a
way out:
The night's mysterious wings pulsed thru the dark, 1
The night's mysterious noises cracked and shivered, 2
And where their fingers met a visible spark 1
Seemed to leap forth at them, and pulsed and quivered 2
Throughout them both. Their thickened tongues were dumb, 3
The pretty words of star-lore undelivered, 2
The pretty words that found no breath would come. 3
Canopus, Clement Wood.
Note here also that the use of some feminine or double rhymes with
single or masculine rhymes is effective. This is especially effective in
a Shakespearean sonnet.
Ottava rima is an Italian stanza adopted in English by many poets.
It is an eight-line stanza, composed of a sestet rhymed alternately, fol-
lowed by a terminal rhyming couplet. The Italians use their heroic
meter, eleven syllables to the line, in it; the English prefer iambic
five-foot measure. Spenser, Milton, and Keats used it, and Byron pre-
ferred it, as in his Don Juan:
But "why then publish?"—There are no rewards 1

Of fame or profit when the world grows weary. 2
I ask in turn,—Why do you play at cards? 1
Why drink? Why read?—To make some hour
less dreary. 2
It occupies me to turn back regards 1
On what I've seen or pondered, sad or cheery; 2
And what I write I cast upon the stream 3
To sink or swim—I have had at least my dream. 3
Don Juan, Lord Byron.
Again note the use of double and single rhymes in the same stanza,
quite often effective.
The Spenserian stanza was invented by Edmund Spenser, and has
long been used in serious dignified verse. The eight opening five-foot
iambic lines are terminated by an Alexandrine, or six-foot iambic
line; the pattern may be seen in this opening of Keats's poem, which
uses the stanza throughout:
St. Agnes' Eve—ah, bitter chill it was! 1

The owl, for all his feathers, was acold. 2
The hare limped trembling through the frozen grass, 1
And silent was the flock in woolly fold. 2
Numb was the Beadsman's fingers while he told 2
His rosary, and while his frosted breath 3
Like pious incense from a censer old, 2
Seemed taking flight for heaven without a death. 3
Past the sweet Virgin's picture, while his prayer he saith. 3
The Eve of St. Agnes, John Keats.
Terza rima is an iambic rhythm, usually of five feet to the line. It is

usually written continuously, and not in stanzas. It consists of groups
of three lines, rhymed 1, 2, 1; but the rhyming sound of the middle
line, 2, becomes the first and third line of the next group; and so on.
The end of the canto or poem is a couplet, tying up the rhyme sound
left loose as the central line terminal sound in the preceding triplet.
Thus it is a sort of chain verse, its rhyme scheme proceeding: 1,2, 1;
2, 3, 2; 3, 4, 3; 4, 5, 4; n-1, n, n-1; n, n. Shelley, in his Ode
to the West Wind, used this in fourteen-line groups, separating the
triplets and concluding couplet as if they were separate stanzas.
It is advisable for the poet or versifier to spend some time in the
53 STANZA PATTERNS
pleasant chore of analyzing the favorite poems of the great poets—the

odes of Keats, the sonnets of Shakespeare, the greater lyrics of Poe,
and so on. Scansion will indicate the meter employed; and the
numeral system 1, 1, 2, 2 will mark for you the rhyming pattern. Let
your attention be directed especially to ingenious devices for securing
variety within a formal pattern.
The sonnet, which will be reached in the study of lyric poetry, has
been used often and successfully as a stanza.
In polyrhythmic or free verse, the stanza division follows the poet's
inner mandate of where each group of lines should end, as if it were
a paragraph in prose.
Sapphics and Other Classic Forms

Elegiac verse, according to the classical models, consists of lines
alternately dactylic hexameter and dactylic pentamenter; and then
this difference is explained away by saying that the shorter lines have
six accents, but omit the unaccented syllables in the third and sixth
feet. Coleridge indicates the method:
In the hexameter rises the fountain's all-silvery radiance;
In the pentameter aye falling in melody back.
Translation from Schiller, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
It is significant that none of the five greatest examples of elegiac
poetry—that based upon death, or reflections upon death—in the
English language, use this form. These five poems are Milton's
Lycidas, Shelley's Adonais, Tennyson's In Memoriam, Gray's famous
elegy, and Whitman's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed, a
tribute to Lincoln.
The Greek dactylic hexameter, the classic model as the iambic
five-foot line is in English, is far more complicated, according to the
prosodists, than it sounds. There are six feet. The fifst four are
dactyls or spondees. The fifth must be a dactyl; otherwise, if a spon-
dee appears here, the verse is called spondaic. The last is a spondee or
a trochee. A diagram makes this clearer.
or or or or
' / // // //
This may be written in English, with an accent basis instead of a

quantity basis (that is, long and short syllables).
Hendecasyllabics were eleven-syllabled lines composed of a spon-
dee, a dactyl, and trochees. Thus:
//|/„l/~l/~l/~
This meter has never been successfully naturalized into English.
Alcaics, named from the lyric poet Alcaeus, a contemporary of
Sappho, are of several kinds. The first variety has a five-foot line,
consisting of a spondee or iamb, an iamb, a long syllable, and two
dactyls. Here is the pattern:
o/ l_ / l / l / J/__
The second variety has two dactyls and two trochees to the line:
\nd, for the third, the line is composed:
(I) - " /
or
(11)/-// •
or / ~ ~ / / „ /
(in)//-/ (stress on (stress on - //
or 1st or 4th 1st or 4th (Stress on first
(IV) / / / - syllable) syllable) long syllable)
What are the names of these feet? The first is an epitrite (first, sec-
ond, third or fourth epitrite, depending upon the Jocation of the short
syllable); two choriambi or choriambs as above; and a bacchius. This
technique does not often produce poetry in English; more often, it
produces prosody or verse.
For an Alcaic ode, each strophe consists of four lines. The first two
are eleven-syllabled Alcaics of the first kind; the third an especial
form of iambic two-foot of nine syllables, described as hypercatalec-
tic; and the fourth a ten-syllabled Alcaic of the second kind. Ten-
nyson tried to catch it in:
O mighty-mouthed inventor of harmonies,

O skilled to sing of time or eternity,
55 STANZA PATTERNS
God-gifted organ-voice of England,

Milton, a name to resound for ages.
Milton, Alfred Tennyson.
Sapphics are named after the poet Sappho, who is said to have used
the form with high skill. A sapphic line consists of five equal beats,
its central one of three syllables, and the rest of two each. The origi-
nal Greek sapphic stanza consisted of three of these lines, followed by
a shorter line called an adonic, the whole following this pattern:
// /~~ /- //
/ or
- or
/ / //
or /__ /- or

/ w / „ /- or

Certain English poets have essayed this meter. In the examples given,
the accent sign ( ) means a syllable described as long; the other sym-
bol ( ) means one described as short. Here is Swinburne's use of the
form:
Saw the | white im- | placable | Aphro-1 dite,
Saw the hair unbound and the feet un- sandalled

Sapphics, Algernon Charles Swinburne.
and so on to the end. A choriambic line consists of a spondee, three

choriambi and an iamb. A galliambic line is composed of iambs, one
of which drops its final syllable, the next foot to the last being an
anapest.
Indentation
The purpose of indentation is primarily to indicate the rhyme
scheme. Indenting a line means sinking it inward by an increased
blank space in the left-hand margin. Every paragraph in prose is
indented at its beginning. An early indentation of poetry was similar
to this, and consisted in indenting only the first line of each stanza.
Where the poet desires to impress the reader with his rhyme scheme,
indenting of lines rhymed is proper:
Yet this inconstancy is such

As you too shall adore:
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not Honour more.
To Lucasta, on Going to the Wars, Richard Lovelace.
The following indentation is improper and essentially illiterate:
That which her slender waist confined

Shall now my joyful temples bind:
No monarch but would give his crown
His arms might do what this has done.
On a Girdle, Edmund Waller.
Needless to say, the poet set this up without indentation. The motive
for such misindentation seems to be the following foggy thinking on
the part of the versifier:
(a) Some poems by great poets are indented.

(b) Therefore I must indent my poem, to make sure it is
regarded as great.
Once the motive for indentation is learned—to show the similarity of

rhyme sounds terminating lines indented to the same point—this
error will be avoided.
A second purpose of indentation is to center short lines in the
57 STANZA PATTERNS
central portion of the poem, instead of leaving them dangling off to

the left. One of Guy Wetmore Carryll's eight verse poems proceeds:
A maiden from the Bosphorus,

With eyes as bright as phosphorus,
Once wed the wealthy bailiff
Of the caliph
Of Kelat.
Though diligent and zealous, he
Became a slave to jealousy.
(Considering her beauty,
'Twas his duty
To be that!)
How the Helpmate of Bluebeard Made Free with a Door,
Guy Wetmore.
Here the first, third, fourth and sixth indentations indicate rhyming
changes; the second and fifth are to center briefer rhyming lines. The
object is to make the poem appear as presentable as possible, consid-
ering the rhyme scheme and length of line. Recall the indentation of
Shelley's To a Skylark, already given.
As to sonnets, there are only two proper ways to present them:
indenting for rhyme and omitting indentation. The Italian and Shake-
spearean form would then have the following indentation, if this is
used to indicate the rhyme scheme:

It is more usual to set up sonnets without indentation. The original

method of indenting the Shakespearean sonnet consisted of twelve
lines without indentation and an identation for the concluding
couplet.
All this assumes that the poet wishes to impress on the reader the
rhyming scheme and the poet's fidelity in following it. But this is ini-
tiating the reader into the irrelevant laboratory work of the poet, and
has its many disadvantages, since the reader primarily wishes to
know what the poet has to say, not the devices by which he increases
his effectiveness. The modern tendency is to eliminate the indenta-
tion in all poems. If poems are printed similarly to prose, the indenta-
tion will be the same as prose, to indicate paragraph openings, or to
insert a quotation.

DIVISIONS OF POETRY
Narrative Poetry
POETRY IS COMMONLY divided, from the point of view of the poet's
presentation of his material, into narrative, dramatic, and lyric
poetry. The distinction is simple:
• In narrative poetry, the poet tells us a story as if he had been a
spectator, but not a participant, in the events.
• In dramatic poetry, the poet lets the characters of the story
speak their own words.
• In lyric poetry, the poet speaks his own moods, thoughts and
aspirations.
These, like all definitions, define from the centers, not from the
boundaries. A long-winded narrative in the first person, telling the
poet's own adventures, might be classed with reason as any of the
three: narrative poetry because it tells a story; dramatic, like a long
dramatic monologue; and lyric, because the poet himself is speaking.
This attitude classification is not of primary importance.
A fourth division, didactic poetry, that which teaches or points a
moral, was once popular and is still encountered. It is regarded at
best as a low flight of poetry.
Epic, Metrical Romance, Tale

An epic is a long narrative poem, dealing with heroic events,
usually with supernatural guidance and participation in the action.
Epics are divided into natural or folk epics, and literary epics. There
is a suggested theory that folk epics are preceded by and composed of
folk ballads. The earliest known epics exhibit little or no trace of any
welding or amalgamating process.
The earliest literary remains in Greece are of the epic type, of

three varieties. Epics of personal romance and war center around the
semimythical blind bard Homer, with his Iliad—the story of the
flight of Helen of Sparta with her Trojan lover, Paris; the war of
Greeks against Trojans to avenge this; the anger of Greek Achilles and
its effects; the defeat of Troy—and the Odyssey, telling the world wan-
derings of Grecian Odysseus after the sack of Troy, and of his return
to his native Ithaca. Parts .of these long poems are essentially prosy;
but they have never been equalled for long poetic flight in narrative
form. Epics dealing with the mysteries of religion center around the
mythical singer Orpheus. Epics of a didactic nature center around the
name of Hesiod. Scholars state that many lost epics in all three fields
preceded the epics now remaining.
The Mahabharata and the Ramayana in Sanskrit, the Shahnameh
in Persian, the Niebelungenlied in Middle German, Beowulf in
Anglo-Saxon, the fragmentary Elder Edda from Iceland, the Poem of
the Cid from Spain, the Song of Roland in medieval France, the
Kalevala from Finland are all folk epics. They originated before the
invention of writing and were transmitted orally, with inevitable
changes and additions from time to time. Literary epics are a later
attempt to catch the charm of the ancient epics; and as a rule they
are a lower flight. Virgil's Aeneid, Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered,
Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Dante's didactic Commedia are the most
outstanding among these. The Lusiads of Camoens gave form to the
Portuguese language, much as Dante did to modern Italian, Chaucer
to English and Luther to German. Spenser's Faerie Queene has lost
most of its charm for many modern English readers; even Milton's
Paradise Lost, which sought to express English Puritanism as Dante
had sought to express medieval Catholicism, is largely dull to modern
readers.
Stories in verse preceded stories in prose. Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales, the narrative metrical romances and tales of Scott, Byron and
others, preceded the novel and the short story in English. But prose
has become the popular medium, as it is the more natural one, and the
long poetic narrative today usually seems artificial.
Ballad
The ballad, the brief story in verse, alone retains some general
popularity. The name meant first a folk song-and-dance, like the
61 DIVISIONS OF POETRY
surviving London Bridge Is Falling Down or Oats, Peas, Beans and

Barley Grow. It came to mean the folksong that tells a brief story—at
first to be sung, later to be said or read. The Germanic bards or
scalds, the gleemen, harpers, minstrels, troubadours, and minne-
singersrs were a distinguished lot—the oral literature (and music) of
races in the pre-bookish age. The chief figures in the ballads at first
were noble, since nobles were the patrons of the singers. Later on, the
lower classes became vocal—the oppressed Saxons in the Robin Hood
ballads, and many early ballads in which a commoner ends by marry-
ing one of noble lineage. The technique at first was simple, often with
a simple refrain that the hearers might chorus. In English, the first
ballad meter was seven-foot iambic lines, rhymed in couplets. A vari-
ant of this is the Scottish ballad Edward, Edward, with a pause be-
tween the invoked names taking the place of a foot in alternate lines:
"Quhy does zour brand sae drop wi' bluid, Edward, Edward?
Quhy does zour brand sae drop wi' bluid, and quhy sae sad
gang zee, O?"
"Oh, I hae kill-ed my hauke sae guid, Mither, Mither,
O, I hae kill-ed my hauke sae guid; and I had nae mair but
he, O."
Like the majority of the older ballads, this is a gory thing, full of
blood and stark universal passions. If modern poetry gave us more of
such red meat instead of caviar canapes, it would hold a wider popu-
larity than it now has.
The rhythm is much freer than centuries of later iambic versifica-
tion. The modern versifier can learn much of the way to sprinkle
anapests in an iambic pattern, and of more important devices in ver-
sification, from old English folk ballads, as from that other depository
of English folk verse, Mother Goose. Folk ballads originate among
people largely pre-bookish; certain American mountaineers and cer-
tain Negroes still commemorate thrilling events with folk ballads,
like the one within our memory on The Sinking of the Titantic.
Literary ballads are more successful than literary epics. Ballads by
Heine and Housman, or Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner,
have been taken to the heart of the race. The stanza form is almost
invariably simple. Yet it is worthwhile to study the slight elaborations
of the ballad meter that Coleridge employed—with stanzas ranging
from four to nine ballad half-lines. There are many more successful
literary ballads.
Dramatic Poetry
Like storytelling, drama is largely a lost field to poetry, purely
because of the unnaturalness of poetic drama as usually written.
There is a field for drama in natural free verse, which may yet be
widely used. Classic drama was divided into tragedy, a play ending in
death, and comedy, a play not ending in death. This division was
unworkable and has been abandoned today.
Thespis, reputed father of Grecian drama, never permitted more
than one actor on the stage at one time, with a chorus to interpret the
action to the audience. This rigid convention was shattered by
Aeschylus, who added a second actor. Sophocles added a third; but
classic Greek drama never permitted a fourth. The typical Shake-
spearean play had five acts, the climax occurring during the third act,
the solution at the end. This usually meant a dragging fourth act,
which only Othello among the great tragedies avoided. Shakespeare
and most other English verse dramatists used a five-foot iambic line,
most often in blank or unrhymed verse. None of these conventions are
more sacred than the one-actor convention of Thespis.
The dramatic monologue, or dramatic lyric, sprung from the
speeches of Thespis's actor and the unnatural soliloquy of classic and
English drama, is the one form of drama in verse which preserves
considerable popularity. Robert Browning made this field peculiarly
his own, with such magnificent dramatic vignettes as My Last
Duchess, Andrea del Sarto, Caliban upon Setebos and so many more.
His tremendous The Ring and the Book is, within a brief framework,
ten immense dramatic monologues: the same group of facts, as seen
through the eyes of ten differing personalities. Such dramatic mono-
logues may be in any rhythm, any line length, and with or without
rhyme. Success comes in proportion to the naturalness of the speech,
the universality and depth of the emotion displayed, and the accuracy
in character drawing.
Lyric Poetry: Ode, Elegy, Pastoral

Perhaps the earliest, and certainly the most enduringly popular
type of poetry, is the lyric. As the name indicates, it meant originally
poetry to be sung to the lyre—a dance at first accompanying this.
The ode, the most exalted form of lyric poetry, had strict rules
in classic times. The Greek Pindaric ode had three movements: a stro-
phe, in which the chorus moved from a given spot toward the right;
the antistrophe, following the same versification pattern, and to the
same tune, in which the chorus moved correspondingly to the left;
and the concluding epode, different in structure, sung to a different
tune, and with the chorus standing still. Efforts to revive this form in
English have not succeeded. In English, the ode is a dignified lyric on
some high theme, with constant progress in its stanzas toward its con-
clusion. Familiar odes in English include Wordsworth's:
Our birth is but a sleep and- a forgetting;

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath elsewhere its setting
And cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Ode on the Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of
Early Childhood
and also the great odes by Shelley and Keats already referred to.
An elegy is a formal expression of the poet's grief at death, whether
general or centered about the death of an individual. It has no more
definite a pattern in English than the ode. Milton, in Lycidas, uses an
iambic measure, with lines of differing lengths, and a f luidic rhyme
scheme. Shelley, in Adonais, chose the Spenserian stanza. Tennyson,
in In Memoriam, selected the quatrain pattern already encountered.
Whitman, in his major Lincoln threnody, "When Lilacs Last in the
Dooryard Bloomed, wrote in magnificent polyrhythmic verse. Gray's
familiar Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, alone among these a
meditation upon death in general, used alternate-rhymed five-foot
iambic lines. There are many familiar short elegies in the language.
The pastoral is a reflective lyric upon some aspect of nature, for-
merly concerned with shepherd life, whence its name. Milton's
shapely LAllegro and // Penseroso, and Whittier's Snowbound, are
examples in this genre. As city living increasingly replaces country
living, some form of city lyric may supplant the pastoral, if it does not
die without offspring.
The Simple Lyric: The Song

The word song is loosely used for any. simple lyric, on the theory
that it may always be set to music. It is best to reserve the word for a
lyric intended to be set to music. This calls for a knowledge, on the
part of the poet, of the human voice in music, and the ease or diffi-
culty with which the various sounds are produced. Certain conso-
nants and combinations of consonants are singable only with great
difficulty. A line like:
The gross-sized much-touched scratch will itch
is not easily singable. The terminal consonants m, n, I, r are sung with

ease; s, z, ch, sh, as terminals, with difficulty. Of the vowels, broad a,
long o, long a, ou are easiest to sing, though no vowel is really diffi-
cult. The words chosen should always end, and as far as possible
include, only sounds which open the mouth, instead of closing it.
Simple words are to be preferred to complicated ones; definite precise
words to indefinite abstract ones; emotion-evoking words to intellec-
tualized ones.
The lyric canon in English is one of the glories of its literature.
After the dawn-hour lyrics before the Elizabethan age, the golden
song of Campion—
Shall I come, sweet Love, to thee,

When the evening beams are set?
Shall I not excluded be,
Will you find no feigned let?
Let me not, for pity, more
Tell the long hours at your door
Shall I Come, Sweet Love? Thomas Campion.
the equally melodious singable lyrics of Shakespeare and his contem-
poraries, the lyrics of Shelley, Keats, Byron, Burns, Housman and so
many more in England, and of Pbe, Emily Dickinson, Sidney Lanier
and a few later singers, together make up a body of song that the race
continues to treasure.
The themes and treatments of the lyric may vary as widely as the
desires and visions of the poets. A lyric may have any chosen form of
rhythm, with or without rhyme. It is often natural and effective in free
verse or polyrhythmic poetry, since in this form the precise emotion-
moving thoughts and images may be written down, without the warp-
ing often demanded by such devices of versification as rhyme, asso-
nance, consonance, and formal meter and stanza arrangement. Here
is an example from the chief American user of the form, in a lyric
called Reconciliation:
Word over all, beautiful as the sky,

Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage
must in time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night
incessantly softly wash again, and ever again,
this soil'd world;
For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead,
I look where he lies white-faced and still in the
coffin—I draw near,
Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white
face in the coffin.
Reconciliation, Walt Whitman.
Modern users of polyrhythmic poetry as a rule use less eloquence

than Whitman and less of the expansive cosmic note, and tend instead
toward the tense and gripping emotional appeal usual in rhymed and
metric lyrics. Much shorter line division is also common.
The Sonnet
The sonnet is the most popular fixed form in English. It is a lyric of
fourteen iambic five-foot lines, with a defined and definite rhyme
scheme. There are two forms of it widely used in English, the Italian
or Petrarchan sonnet, and the Shakespearean sonnet.
The rhyme scheme of the Italian sonnet appears from the following
example:
The world is too much with us; late and soon; 1

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: 2
Little we see in Nature that is ours; 2
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! 1
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon, 1
The winds that will be howling at all hours, 2
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; 2
For this, for everything, we are out of tune; 1

It moves us not.—-Great God! I'd rather be 3
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; 4
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, 3
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; 4
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; 3
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. 4
Sonnet, William Wordsworth.
The first eight lines of any sonnet are called the octave. In the Ital-
ian sonnet, the rhyme scheme is rigid and may not be departed from.
The octave consists of two quatrains rhymed 1,2,2, 1, the In Memo-
nam rhyming pattern made familiar by Tennyson's use of it. The
entire octave then rhymes 1, 2, 2, 1; 1, 2, 2, 1. It is not permitted
to vary the rhymes in the second half of the octave, by using 1, 2, 2,
1; 3, 2, 2, 3, or a form too commonly encountered, 1, 2, 2, 1; 3, 4,
4,3.
The concluding six lines of any sonnet are called the sestet. The
two permissible rhyme schemes for the sestet of an Italian sonnet are
3,4, 3,4, 3,4, and 3,4, 5, 3,4, 5. It will be noted that the sonnet by
Wordsworth, quoted above, uses the proper octave rhyme scheme and
the first of these two sestet arrangements.
As to treatment, the octave must be end-stopped—that is, the
eighth line must mark the termination of a sentence. Even the halves
of the octave should be end-stopped. The first quatrain should intro-
duce the theme and develop it in a certain direction; the second should
continue this development in the same direction. The sestet intro-
duces a new development in a different direction, with the first tercet
carrying this new direction to a definite point; and the final tercet
bringing the theme to a conclusion. The actual movement of the strict
Italian sonnet may be expressed as a flow in the octave and an ebb in
the sestet—so Theodore Watts-Dunton phrased it in his sonnet The
Sonnet's Voice. This does not mean, of course, that the inspiration or
the emotional effect should ebb.
Wordsworth's sonnet, emotionally effective as it is, violates several
of these strict rules. The octave movement does not end with the
eighth line, but trespasses into the ninth. There is no break in thought
between the two tercets that together comprise the sestet. We will
find constantly among the masters violations of the rules, at times in
the nature of experiments; none of these has as yet established its
popularity in English poetry. In his sonnet On the Extinction of the
Venetian Republic, Wordsworth's octave rhymes 1, 2, 2, 1; 1, 3, 3,

1—another variation.
One authority examined 6,283 Italian sonnets in English and
found these variations for the terminal sestet rhymes:
3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4
3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 5 3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 4
3,4,4,3,5,5 3,4,5,5,4,3
3,4,5,4,3,5 3,4,4,5,3,5
3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 5 3, 4, 5, 4, 5, 3
3,4,5,3,5,4 3,4,3,5,5,4
Two of these have terminal couplets, the most regrettable variation of

the Italian sonnet. Six others include a couplet somewhere within the
sestet. In addition to the above, the following two-rhyme variants are
found:
3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3
3,4,4,3,3,4 3,4,3,3,4,4
3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3
Only the first excludes any couplet rhyming. Shelley's poem Ozyman-
dias had the rhyme scheme 1, 2, 1, 2; 1, 3, 4, 3; 5, 4, 5, 6, 5, 6.
Milton led the way in failing to separate clearly the octave and sestet,
so much so that his type of sonnet is sometimes called the Miltonic-
Italian in rhyme pattern, but without the characteristic Italian flow
and ebb of theme, broken after the eighth line.
The Shakespearean sonnet is simpler and more natural in rhyming,
and is in wider favor among English-using poets. An example is:
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, 1

I all alone beweep my outcast state, 2
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, 1
And look upon myself and curse my fate, 2
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, 3
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, 4
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, 3
With what I most enjoy contented least; 4
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, 5
Haply I think on thee, and then my state, 6
Like to the lark at break of day arising 5
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; 6

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings 7
That then I scorn to change my state with kings. 7
Sonnet XXIX, William Shakespeare.
This is the accepted Shakespearean indentation for this form: though
it may be indented to show rhyming mates, as the Italian also may be.
Both types of the sonnet at times are printed with octave and sestet
separated, making a poem of two stanzas; or an octave divided into
two quatrains, and at times the sestet similarly divided.
The rhyming scheme of the Shakespearean sonnet is three qua-
trains—1,2,1, 2; 3,4, 3,4; 5, 6, 5, 6—with a concluding couplet, 7,
7. A shrewd interspersing of double or feminine rhymes aids. Many
variations have been tried on this simple rhyming basis. Sir Philip
Sidney repeated the rhymes of the first quatrain in the second, giving
him a pattern of 1, 2, 1, 2; 1, 2, 1, 2; 3, 4, 3, 4; 5, 5. Spenser, in his
120 sonnets, used a chain-verse device of interlocking rhymes
throughout each sonnet, so that his pattern was: 1,2, 1, 2; 2, 3, 2, 3;
3, 4, 3, 4; 5, 5. Keats, in his second sonnet on Fame, wedded the
Shakespearean octave to the Italian sestet, with his rhyme scheme 1,
2, 1, 2; 3, 4, 3,4; 5, 6, 5, 7, 7, 6. Rupert Brooke, in the first and fifth
of his soldier sonnets, used the Shakespearean octave and a straight
Italian sestet: 5, 6, 7, 5, 6, 7. The third and fourth of the same series
also wander from any strict pattern.
The sonnet was invented in Italy in the 13th century, probably by
Pier delle Vigne, Secretary of State in the Sicilian court of Frederick.
His sonnet Pero cK amore is the earliest known. His rhyme form—1,
2, 1,2; 1,2, 1, 2; 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5—has never become popular in
English. The French sonnet prefers the strict Italian octave, with a
sestet of three rhymes commencing with a couplet. This also has not
become naturalized in English. There are occasional variations in
English poetry, such as 1, 2, 1, 2; 2, 1,2, 1; 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 5; Italian
sonnets with sestet 3,4, 3, 4, 5, 5; and so on. Watts-Dunton points
out, in his article on the sonnet in the eleventh edition of the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica, that the charm of this and otherfixedforms comes
from familiarity in advance with the rhyme scheme to be followed;
and that this charm is dissipated when any break in the expected
rhyme scheme occurs. We feel somewhat as if we listened to a limer-
ick with an extra foot or an extra line: a sense of surprise, its pleasure
being doubtful. In spite of this, poets continue to vary the rigid forms
from time to time and will continue to do so.
The sonnet, of either form, is used by many poets as a fourteen-

line stanza. Many of the Elizabethan sonnet sequences illustrate this;
and there are many more recent examples. In writing the sonnet, it
will aid to write down the rhyme scheme to the right of the space
where your lines are to be written, and thereafter to mark across from
each numbered rhyme the initial consonantal sounds used: giving a
check against repeating a rhyming sound (that is, identity), which is
inexcusable false rhyming. We would then have a notebook page like:

Thus, by this check, it appears that the poet used, for rhyme 1,
OLD, these consonantal sounds: g, h, t, b; for rhyme 2, EN, s, b, m,
r; for rhyme 3, IZ, sk, the unconsonanted vowel sound, and m; for
rhyme 4, EN, k, m, and the unconsonanted vowel sound. No identi-
ties; rhyme throughout. The sonnet, from a technical rhyming stand-
point, has no flaws. When this method is followed during the writing
of the sonnet—the first group of columns, that containing the numer-
als, properly indented, being written down first—this gives a check
as the writing of the sonnet proceeds and saves much rewriting.

THE FRENCH FORMS, LIGHT AND
HUMOROUS VERSE
Formal and Light Verse
ANY POETIC FORM may be used either to arouse the great serious
emotions or the lighter and more frivolous ones. Nor is there any rea-
son for holding the serious poet higher than the comic poet. Surely
Aristophanes, the great Athenian comic dramatist, ranked as high and
was doubtless more popular and influential than any of the great seri-
ous triad, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Shakespeare the
comic dramatist, the author of Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer
Night's Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, is as impressive a figure as
the Shakespeare who let the melancholy Dane live and die in Elsi-
nore, the Shakespeare who was the chronicler of Othello's jealousy
and Lear's senility. Cervantes, who jeered knighthood to death, is
greater as a writer than any other Spaniard; Racine, Moliere, Voltaire,
Anatole France were greatest as satirists; and so the roll continues.
Serious writers and poets are more popular and are taken more seri-
ously; but this may be because it is more civilized and difficult to
laugh than to weep. Animals can suffer agonies; but they cannot
chuckle. And yet the race would not willingly exchange Robert
Burns's Tarn o' Shanter and W. S. Gilbert's The Bab Bollards for any
number of closet dramas, ponderous versified essays and odes, or a
whole trainload of lyrics to spring and young love.
Fixed forms of poetry tend to become outgrown, like a child's shirt
too small to close over a man's heart. They then become relegated to
minor versifiers, to light verse writers, and to college and high school
exercises. Prose ages more quickly than poetry: witness such master-
pieces, written for adults, as the world's great fairy stories, Aesop's
fables, the Arabian Nights, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels in the
nursery; and the essays and novels of yesterday encountered in school
or college. Poetry itself ages: Shakespeare, Milton, Virgil, Horace are
more used in the classroom than in the living room today, and so of
the rest of them. In spite of constant insistence that nothing changes
71 THE FRENCH FORMS
under the sun, the nature of man is stretched outward by his expand-
ing environment, and coiled more tensely into molecules and atoms
and complexes and other inner things; and the poetry, the concen-
trated heart's expression, of yesterday cannot forever be the poetry of
today. Prose, in the large, must be rephrased every fifty years or less
to be enjoyable to living men; poetry survives longer, but the hour
will come when the most enduring poem of a Shakespeare or a Sap-
pho will seem ancient, and must be restated or recreated by a living
poet, to speak again for the maturing soul of man. If this is true of the
poetry itself, it is truer of the patterns in which poetry has been
uttered, and especially of the fixed forms.
The sonnet, an emigrant from Italy that became naturalized in
English literature, still holds its own as a major method of expressing
serious poetry, in the eyes of many poets and readers. Even at that, it
is now regarded as puerile by the extreme advocates of free verse or
polyrhythmic poetry, especially since Whitman and the Imagist
movement. Numerous other alien verse forms did not fare so well and
have established themselves primarily as mediums for light and
humorous verse. These include the ballade, the rondeau, the vil-
lanelle, the triolet, and so on. This may be because of theirrigidrules
and formal repetitions, which were not acceptable to the living poet.
And yet they started as seriously as Sapphics, heroic blank verse, or
polyrhythms. . . .
Of all the forms of verse originating in medieval Provence, among
those that failed to acclimatize themselves in English are the vers,
canzo, sirvente, tenso, alba, serena, pastorella, breu-doble, an
retroensa. Only the most elaborate of the lot, the intricate sestina, ha
survived in English. When religious crusades wiped out this culture,
the germs of formalized verse took root in northern France, espe-
cially under Charles d'Orleans and Frangois Villon. The ballade
appeared. Spenser used 3,848 of his nine-line Spenserian stanzas in
one poem: across the Channel, Eustache Deschamps, a friend of
Chaucer's, left no less than 1, 175 complete ballades. Froissart the
chronicler wrote many. Charles d'Orleans is hailed as the early master
of the roundel, as Villon is lauded as the prince of ballade-makers.
Jean Passerat gave the villanelle its present form in the sixteenth
century; Voiture, a century later, perfected therondeau.In the seven-
teenth century, after the forms had been known for two hundred years
in English, Patrick Carey published a series of dignified religious tri-
olets; and the overartificialized forms have repeatedly been revived
since.
Rules of the Fixed Verse Forms

In English verse, the rules for the fixed forms are stricter than in
French:
I. No syllable once used as a rhyme can be used again in the

same poem as a rhyme—not even if it is spelled differently or
if the whole word is altered by a prefix.
This bars such identities as Ruth, a girl's name, and ruth, pity; bear,
an animal, bear, to support, bare, forbear, and so on; sale and sail;
claim, reclaim, and disclaim; facility, imbecility; and, if this is taken
as a single rhyme, not a triple one, it forbids the use of more than one
from this group: tea, manatee, imbecility, impossibility, lenity, and so
on.
As to the refrain, an important element in many of these forms:
II. The refrain must not be a meaningless repetition of sounds as

in many English ballads; it must aid in the progress of the
thought; come in naturally; and be repeated in all its sounds,
without any change of sound.
Slipshod versifiers alter the refrain by changing the introductory

word, as by using an and for a but, a then for an if. This is unfor-
giveable. But the requirement goes no further than the repetition of all
sounds. Punctuation may be changed, spelling may be changed,
meaning may be changed: permitting the following—
It's meet, this sale; Its meat, this sale.

Gray day; Grade aye; Grade A.
The Ballade Family

There are two standard forms of the ballade. The more usual one
consists of three stanzas of eight lines each; followed by a concluding
quatrain, known as the envoy. It is thus a poem of twenty-eight lines,
or twice the length of a sonnet. Each stanza, and the envoy, terminate
with a line repeated sound by sound, and called the refrain. The
rhyme scheme is 1,2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3R for each stanza, 3R being the
73 THE FRENCH FORMS
refrain; and 2, 3, 2, 3R for the envoy. The rules of the ballade may be
stated as follows:
I. The same set of rhyme sounds used in the first stanza, in the
same order, must be used in each stanza; and the last half of
this scheme must be used in the envoy.
II. No rhyme sound, once used as a rhyme, may be used again for
that purpose anywhere else in the poem.
III. Each stanza and the envoy must close with the refrain line,
repeated without any alteration of sound; though its punctua-
tion, meaning and spelling may be altered.
IV. The sense of the refrain must be supreme throughout the bal-
lade, the culminating refrain line being always brought in
without strain or effort as the natural close of the stanza or
envoy.
Formerly the length of the refrain governed the length of the

stanza. Thus an eight-syllabled refrain dictated an eight-line stanza,
and a ten-syllabled refrain a ten-line stanza. This rule is followed no
longer.
V. The stanza should carry an unbroken sense throughout, and

not be split in meaning into two quatrains, or any other divi-
sion. The needful pauses for punctuation are allowed, but the
sense is not to be finished midway of the stanza.
VI. The envoy, as used in ballades and the chant royal, was at first
addressed to the patron of the poet. It is thus usual to com-
mence it with some such invocation as Prince! Princess! Sire!
or by some mythical or symbolic persons so introduced. This
is at times omitted. The envoy is both a dedication and a cul-
mination, and should be richer in wording and meaning and
more stately in imagery than the preceding lines.
Here is a well-wrought ballade, in four-foot iambic verse. The
rhyme scheme is indicated by the numerals 1, 2, and 3, the refrain
line being designated 3R. To the right appear the checking columns
for the three rhyming sounds, to make sure that there are no repeti-
tions^—unforgiveable, in strict formal verse of this type.

As to the two requirements about rhyming, a ballade requires six 1

rhymes. Here the six consonantal sounds, as the checking column
establishes, are s, tr, fr, k, pi, and m.
A ballade requires fourteen 2 rhymes. Here the fourteen consonan-
tal sounds, as the checking column establishes, are //, n, w, the
unconsonanted vowel, f,fr, sh, gl, b, sn, I, r, thr, and bl.
A ballade requires five 3 rhymes, one of which reappears three
75 THE FRENCH FORMS
times as the refrain. The five sounds used here are g, the unconso-
nanted vowel, v, k, and thr. The rhyming is correct throughout.
The refrain line is used without any alteration of any kind through-
out, satisfying the third requirement. It is used throughout as a natu-
ral climax of each stanza. Each stanza has its own climactic rise to the
refrain. The envoy meets the requirements wholly.
n This ballade then may be used as a model.
The meter of a ballade need not be four-foot iambic, as in this
example. Andrew Lang's Ballade of Primitive Man has a three-foot
anapestic movement with the refrain, " 'Twas the manner of Primitive
Man." Dactyls may be used or anapests. A recent newspaper ballade
had only two trochees to the line, its refrain being "Life is gay."
Another had merely one iambic foot to each line, with the refrain "I
love." No doubt someone has written a ballade with only one syllable
to each line.
The most famous of all ballades is Fran?ois Villon's ballade Des
Dames du Temps Jadis (Ballade of Bygone Ladies). There are many
familiar translations of this: Dante Gabriel Rossetti's with the refrain
"But where are the snows of yester-year?", John Payne's with "But
what is become of last year's snow?", and others. None of these are
authentic recreations in living poetry; not even of the refrain Mais ou
sont les neiges d'antan? (But where are the last year's snows?) In
technique, Rossetti has entirely different rhyming sounds in each
stanza and another in the envoy. Payne is accurate though he repeats
some rhyme sounds, and uses words as unliving as vade (that is, go,),
marish, whilere, dole; and surely "Virgin debonair" is an unfortunate
mistranslation of Villon's stately Vierge souvraine. At least, none of
this is as archaic as two words in this line of Rossetti's version:
(From love he won such dule and teen!)
Examining the Villon original, we find that he uses the terminal

sounds -maine seven times, and rhymes it with moyne and other
apparent consonances; rhymes lis and Allis; and otherwise is as lax as
French rules allow, rather than following the strict and at that time
unpromulgated English rules. An acceptable version in English may
take advantage of the practices in the original, although it will have to
be an authentic poetic recreation.
The second standard form of the ballade consists of stanzas of ten
lines, usually of ten syllables each, as in the five-foot iambic pattern;
followed by an envoy of five lines. The regular rhyme scheme for each
stanza is 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3,4, 3,4R, 4R being the refrain line. For the

envoy, the rhyme scheme is 3, 3, 4, 3, 4R. This is much rarer in
English than the foregoing.
The ballade with double refrain uses two refrains, one occurring at
the fourth line of every stanza, and one at the eighth; while, in the
envoy, the refrains are the second and fourth lines respectively, the
envoy being rhymed couplet-wise. The rhyme scheme for each stanza
is 1, 2, 1, 2R; 2, 3, 2, 3R, 2R being the first refrain line, and 3R the
second. The rhyme scheme for the envoy is 2, 2R, 3, 3R. The best
technique selects two antithetical refrains, and develops each stanza
upon the refrain used to close it. Here is an excellent example:
When the roads are heavy with mire and rut, 1

In November fogs, in December snows, 2
When the North Wind howls, and the doors are shut, 1
There is place and enough for the pains of prose;— 2R
But whenever a scent from the whitehorn blows, 2
And the jasmine-stars to the casement climb, 3
And a Rosalind-face at the lattic shows, 2
Then hey!—for the ripple of laughing rhyme! 3R
When the brain gets dry as an empty nut,
When the reason stands on its squarest toes,
When the mind (like a beard) has a "formal cut,"
But whenever the May-blood stirs and glows,
And the young year draws to the "golden prime,"—
And Sir Romeo sticks in his ears a rose,
In a theme where the thoughts have a pedant strut,
In a changing quarrel of "Ayes" and "Noes,"
In a starched procession of "If" and "But",
But whenever a soft glance softer glows,
And the light hours dance to the trysting-time,
And the secret is told "that no one knows,"
Envoy
In a work-a-day world,—for its needs and woes, 2
There is place and enough for the pains of prose; 2R

77 THE FRENCH FORMS

The Ballade of Prose and Rhyme, Austin Dobson.
The position of the two refrains is indicated throughout by 2R and 3R;

and the couplet rhyming of the envoy is also indicated.
The double ballade consists of six stanzas of- eight or ten lines
each, rhymed as in the ballades already given. Thus this may be six
stanzas rhymed 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3R; or 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4R.
Usually the envoy is omitted. Henley, who liked the form, always
used an envoy. His Double Ballade of the Nothingness of Things goes
beyond these schemes, and has eleven lines to each stanza, rhymed 1,
2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5R; with an envoy rhymed 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5R.
And he has stranger varieties. Swinburne's Ballade of Swimming has
ten lines to the stanza, and seven anapests to each line—a long inter-
val between rhymes.
The chant royal is the longest and most dignified offspring of the
ballade. It has five stanzas of eleven lines each, usually rhymed 1, 2,
1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5R. The envoy has five lines, rhymed 4, 4, 5, 4",
5R. Sixty lines, in all. . . . Seven (5) rhymes, ten each of (1), (2), and
(3), and eighteen separate rhymes for (4). . . .
Here is an amusing example:
I would that all men my hard case might know;

How grievously I suffer for no sin;
I, Adolphe Culpepper Ferguson, for lo!
I, of my landlady am locked in,
For being short on this sad Saturday,
Nor having shekels of silver wherewith to pay;
She has turned and is departed with my key;
Wherefore, not even as other boarders free,
I sing (as prisoners to their dungeon stones
When for ten days they expiate a spree):
Behold the deeds that are done of Mrs. Jones!
One night and one day I have wept my woe;
Nor wot I when the morrow doth begin,
If I shall have to write to Briggs & Co.,
To pray them to advance the requisite tin
For ransom of their salesman, that he may
Go forth as other boarders go alway—
As those I hear now flocking from their tea,
Led by the daughter of my landlady

Piano-ward. This day, for all my moans,
Dry bread and water have been served me.
Miss Amabel Jones is musical, and so
The heart*of the young he-board6r doth win,
Playing "The Maiden's Prayer," adagio—
That fetcheth him, as fetcheth the banco skin
The innocent rustic. For my part, I pray:
That Badarjewska maid may wait for aye
Ere she sits with a lover, as did we
Once sit together, Amabel! Can it be
That all that arduous wooing not atones
For Saturday shortness of trade dollars three?
Yea! she forgets the arm was wont to go
Around her waist. She wears a buckle whose pin
Galleth the crook of the young man's elb6w;
/ forget not, for I that youth have been.
Smith was aforetime the Lothario gay.
Yet once, I mind me, Smith was forced to stay
Close in his room. Not calm, as I, was he:
But his noise brought no pleasaunce, verily.
Small ease he gat of playing on the bones,
Or hammering on the stove-pipe, that I see.
Thou, for whose fear the figurative crow
I eat, accursed be thou and all thy kin!
Thee will I shew up—yea, up will I shew
Thy too thick buckwheats, and thy tea too thin.
Ay! here I dare thee, ready for the fray!
Thou dost not "keep a first-class house," I say!
It does not with the advertisements agree.
Thou lodgest a Briton with a puggaree,
And thou hast harboured Jacobses and Cohns,
Also a Mulligan. Thus denounce I thee!

Privily by the window. Hence these groans,

There is no fleeing in a robe de nuit.

Culpepper Ferguson, Salesman of Fancy Notions,
held in durance of his Landlady for a failure to

The stanza rhyme scheme is 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5R, 5R being

the refrain; with the envoy 4, 4, 5, 3, 5R. The rhyming throughout is
accurate, and the result is a perfect chant royal. The form is intricate,
and the method of checking the various rhyme sounds as they are put
down should be followed, to be sure that no rhyming sound is
repeated. A great deal of reworking is often necessary to perfect such
a form as this. In order to make the envoy the culmination of the
verses, it is often necessary to shift the strongest and most vigorous
rhyming sounds to it and substitute other words in the earlier stanzas.
It is wise, for rhyme 4, which must be repeated eighteen times, and
similar others repeated constantly in the fixed forms, to choose a
comparatively simple rhyming sound, such as the E here, to prevent a
lack of rhyming words.
Chain Verse
We have already noted that form of chain verse used in terza rima,
where the triplets rhyme 1,2, 1; 2, 3, 2; 3, 4, 3; 4, 5, 4; and so on.
Any repetition of a rhyme, word, phrase, line or group of lines, to tie
up a section of the poem with the succeeding section, constitutes
chain verse. John Byrom lets line four of each quatrain become line
one of the next:
My spirit longeth for thee

Within my troubled breast,
Although I be unworthy
Of so divine a Guest.
Of so divine a Guest
Unworthy though I be,
\et has my heart no rest,
Unless it comes from thee.
Unless it comes from thee,

In vain I look around,
The Desponding Soul's Wish, John Byrom.
and so on. Chain verse can rise to the elaborateness of a chain of son-
nets or more, with the final line in each repeated as the opening line
of the next, or even the final word or rhyme sound so used.
The Kyrielle
The kyrielle, strictly described, consists of quatrains with eight
syllables to the line, each stanza terminating with the same line—a
simple use of the refrain. Here is an example from a poem by John
Payne:
A little pain, a little pleasure,
A little neaping up of treasure,
Then no more gazing upon the sun.
All things must end that have begun.
Where is the time for hope or doubt?
A puff of the wind, and life is out;
A turn of the wheel, and the rest is won.
Golden morning and purple night,
Life that fails with the failing light;
Death is the only deathless one.
Kyrielle, John Payne.
Here the eight-syllabled pattern is intermittently broken. There is of
course no sacredness in any pattern. Such a simple form must com-
pensate by climactic development from stanza to stanza, to justify
itself in poetry.
The Pantoum
Ernest Fouinet introduced the Malayan pantoum into French versi-
fication, and Victor Hugo popularized it in the Orientales. It is written
81 THE FRENCH FORMS
in four-line stanzas; and the second and fourth line of each stanza
become the first and third of the succeeding stanza. In the last stanza
the second and fourth lines are the third and first of the first stanza;
so that the opening and closing lines of the pantoum are identical.
The rhyme scheme would then be: 1,2, 1, 2; 2, 3, 2, 3; 3, 4, 3, 4;
. . . n, l,n, 1.
Brander Matthews gives an example of one in English:
Here we are riding the rail,
Gliding from out of the station;
Man though I am, I am pale,
Certain of heat and vexation.
Gliding from out of the station,
Out from the city we thrust;
Certain of heat and vexation,
Sure to be covered with dust.
Out from the city we thrust:
Rattling we run o'er the bridges:
Sure to be covered with dust,
Stung by a thousand of midges. . . .
En Route, Brander Matthews.
to the final stanza, ending as the verses began:
Ears are on edge at the rattle,
Man though I am, I am pale,
Sounds like the noise of a battle,
Here we are riding the rail.
The Tftolet
The triolet was the first of the rondeau family to appear. The first
ones known appeared in the Cleomades of Aden^z-le-Roi, who wrote
in the latter part of the thirteenth century. At first, with ten syllables
to each line, the triolet dealt with serious subjects. Today the form is
usually eight syllables to the line or even six; and the themes have
grown appreciably and constantly lighter. It has eight lines, with only
two rhymes. The first line is repeated as the fourth line; the first two
lines reappear as the seventh and eighth. The rhyme scheme is 1R,
2R, 1, 1R, 1, 2, 1R, 2R, the repeated lines appearing as 1R and 2R.
Suppose you decide to write a brief triolet, opening with the
couplet:
Drink deep—the glass

Is full—and near!
You can at once fill out your fourth, seventh and eighth lines from
this, making your pattern now appear as:
Drink deep—the glass 1R-

Is full—and near! 2R
1
Drink deep! The glass 1R
1
2
Drink deep—the glass 1R
Is full—and near! 2R
Only three lines, then, remain to be filled in. Once this is done, you
have the triolet complete:

Is full—and near!
Come, lad and lass,
Drink deep! The glass
Too soon will pass
And disappear.
Is full—and near!
At times a more serious mood rules the use of the form. Thus H. C.
Bunner wrote:
A pitcher of mignonette
In a tenement's highest casement;
Queer sort of a flower-pot—yet
That pitcher of mignonette
Is a garden of heaven set
To the little sick child in the basement,
The pitcher of mignonette
83 THE FRENCH FORMS
In the tenement's highest casement.

Triolet, Henry Cyler Bunner.
Here we have no progress in thought in the use of the reiterated

refrain or repetend. Worse than that, the refrain line alters from A
pitcher to That pitcher and The pitcher, a vital fault in the use of
refrains in the French forms.
A transition to the rondeau form is furnished by this eight-line
verse by Leigh Hunt:
Jenny kissed me when we met,

Running to the chair I sat in.
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets upon your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add—
Jenny kissed me.
Jenny Kissed Me, Leigh Hunt.
The opening half of line one, reappearing as the refrain in line eight,
prophesies the rondeau and similar forms. This brilliant little pattern
has never become accepted and named.
The Rondel, Rondeau and Roundel Family

The triolet is the seed of the rondeau family. The rondel (the word
is an old form of the later word rondeau) arose in all probability in
Provence and appeared later in the fourteenth century writings of
north France, in the verse of Froissart, Deschamps and others. It
began as a lyric of two stanzas, each stanza having four or five lines
only, and rhyming triolet-wise upon two sounds . . . either a triolet
or a ten-line variant of the triolet.
With Charles d'Orleans, the rondel took the distinct form now
assigned to it, of fourteen lines on two rhymes. The first two lines
reappear as the seventh and eighth, and as the final couplet—a mere
variation of the triolet. This double repetition of the two-lined refrain
made the form unwieldy. Later French poets shortened the form to
thirteen lines, omitting the second line of the original refrain at the
end.
The form as Charles d'Orleans used it appears in this rondel:
Paper, inviolate, white, 1R

Shall it be joy or pain? 2R
Shall I of fate complain, 2
Or shall I laugh tonight?
Shall it be hopes that are bright?
Shall it be hopes that are vain? 2
Paper, inviolate, white R
A dear little hand so light,
A moment in mine hath lain; 2
Kind was its pressure again— 2
Ah, but it was so slight!
Paper, inviolate, white,
To a Blank Sheet of Paper, Cosmo Monkhouse.
The following rondel, by Samuel Minturn Peck, is in the preferred

modern pattern:
Before the dawn begins to glow, 1R

A ghostly company I keep; 2R
Across the silent room they creep, 2
The buried forms of friend and foe. 1
Amid the throng that come and go, 1
There are two eyes that make me weep; 2
Before the dawn begins to glow, 1R
A ghostly company I keep. 2R
Two dear dead eyes. I love them so! 1
They shine like starlight on the deep, 2
And often when I am asleep 2
They stoop and kiss me, being low, 1
Before the dawn begins to glow. 1R
Before the Dawn, Samuel Minturn Peck.
The rondeau is, next to the ballade, the French form most popular
in English. It is written, like the triolet and rondel, on two rhymes
throughout: thirteen full-length lines and two briefer unrhymed
85 THE FRENCH FORMS
refrains. The refrain may consist of the first half of the first line, but
may consist merely of the first word. The fifteen lines are grouped in
three stanzas, the first of five lines, the secqnd of three lines and
refrain, the third of five lines and refrain. The rhyme scheme then is:
1, 1, 2, 2, 1; 1, 1, 2, R; 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, R. Here is a rondeau that is a
poem as well:
A man must live. We justify 1
Low shift and trick to treason high, 1
A little vote for a little gold 2
To a whole senate bought and sold 2
By that self-evident reply. 1
But is it so? Pray tell me why 1
Life at such cost you have to buy? 1
In what religion were you told 2
A man must live? R
There are times when a man must die. 1
Imagine, for a battle-cry, 1
From soldiers, with a sword to hold,— 2
From soldiers, with the flag unrolled, 2
This coward's whine, this liar's lie,— 1
A man must live! R
A Man Must Live, Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
The roundel, based upon occasional early French variants, is today
associated with the name of Swinburne, because of his volume A Cen-
tury of Roundels. As used by Swinburne, the roundel was eleven lines
long, two of which were the brief refrain lines. The refrain either con-
sisted of the opening word of line one, or of a portion or a half of that
line. If it consisted of more than one word, it usually rhymed with the
(2) sound rhyme. The rhyming pattern then would be 1, 2, 1, R; 2, 1,
2; 1, 2, 1, R; or 1, 2, 1, 2R; 2, 1, 2; 1,2, 1, 2R. Here is an example:
A Roundel is wrought as a ring or a starbright sphere,

With craft of delight and with cunning of sound unsought,
That the heart of the hearer may smile if to pleasure his ear
A roundel is wrought.
Its jewel of music is carven of all or of aught—
Love, laughter, or mourning—remembrance of rapture or
fear—
That fancy may fashion to hang in the ear of thought.
As a bird's quick song runs round, and the hearts in us

hear—
Pause answers to pause, and again the same strain caught,
So moves the device whence, round as a pearl or tear,
A roundel is wrought,
The Roundel, Algernon Charles Swinburne.
The rondelet is a seven-line fixed form, normally of four eight-syl-

labled lines, and three, the refrain lines, with four syllables each. The
rhyme and rhythm scheme is: IR, 2, IR, 1, 2, 2, IR—IR standing for
the refrain line, and 1 for the line rhyming with it. Here is an example
by May Probyn:
"Which way he went?" IR

I know not—how should I go spy 2
Which way he went? IR
I only know him gone. "Relent?" 1
He never will—unless I die! 2
And then, what will it signify 2
Which way he went? IR
Rondelet, May Probyn.
The rondeau redouble, a remote relative of the rondeau, is in real-

ity a formalized theme-with-variations treatment. It starts with a qua-
train as a theme. This is followed by four additional quatrains, in each
of which successively lines one, two, three, and four of the theme qua-
train appear as the terminal lines. A concluding stanza has four lines
of regular length and a refrain (the first half of line one of the theme)
to terminate.
An example will make this clearer:
My soul is sick of nightingale and rose, 1-a

The perfume and the darkness of the grove; 2-b
I weary of the fevers and the throes, 1-c
And all the enervating dreams of love. 2-d
At morn I love to hear the lark, and rove 2

The meadows, where the simple daisy shows 1
Her guiltless bosom to the skies above— 2
My soul is sick of nightingale and rose. 1-a
87 THE FRENCH FORMS
The afternoon is sweet, and sweet repose, 1

But let me lie where breeze-blown branches move. 2
I hate the stillness where the sunbeams doze, 1
The perfume and the darkness of the grove. 2-b
I love to hear at eve the gentle dove 2
Contented coo the day's delightful close. 1
She sings of love and all the calm thereof,— 2
I weary of the fevers and the throes. 1-c
I love the night, who like a mother throws 1
Her arms round hearts that throbbed and limbs that strove, 2
As kind as Death, that puts an end to woes 1
And all the enervating dreams of love. 2-d
Because my soul is sick of fancies wove 2
Of fervid ecstasies and crimson glows; 1
Because the taste of cinnamon and clove 2
Palls on my palate—let no man suppose 1
My soul is sick. R
Rondeau Redouble, Cosmo Monkhouse.
As far as strict rhyming goes, repose—suppose and throes—throws are

identities, and not rhymes.
The glose, which is superficially a freer variant of the foregoing
pattern, derives apparently from a different source, and is found more
often in Spanish and Portuguese verse than in French. It begins, like
the rondeau redouble, with a quatrain, here called the texte, which
may be a quotation. This texte the glose proceeds to develop, in four
stanzas often lines each, closing each stanza, as in the rondeau redou-
ble, with the successive four lines of the texte. The concluding stanza
and refrain of the preceding form are omitted here. In the rhyme
scheme, lines six, nine and the tenth or texte line in each stanza
rhyme; the rest of the rhyme scheme differs with different users of the
form.
Gleeson White, author of a definitive book on the French forms,
was unable to discover at the time he wrote any example of the form
in English. There are not many examples available. The texte in the
following is from Graham R. Tomson's Ballade of Asphodel.
"Queen Prosperine, at whose white feet 1-a

In life my love I may not tell, 2-b
Wilt give me welcome when we meet 1-c
Along the mead of Asphodel? 2-d

Your Majesty, permit me to 3
Indite, as one would say, this bit 4
Of verse respectfully to you; 3
Of course admitting entre nous 3
You may not really fancy it; 4
Although it will be rather neat. 1
And yet the dedication's fit; 4
I want assistance from your wit: 4
I should permit my heart to beat, 1
Queen Proserpine, at whose white feet? 1-a
Remember, Proserpine, I know 5
That quite discriminatingly 6
You made your mind up long ago; 5
You did not like your Stygian beau; 5
He smacked a bit of deviltry,— 6
And you were not designed for hell, 2
This shows you're quite a clever she; 6
Ergo, you ought to counsel me. 6
I must make up my mind, or,—well, 2
In life my love I may not tell. 2
Should I ask Venus, she would vote
(That surely is a goddess' right)
For some dame with "a quivering throat
And bosom of desire"—I quote
From memory the line tonight.
Minerva would choose some discreet
Young woman, staid and erudite;
But only she could give delight
Who would, though life's young roses sweet
Wilt, give me welcome when we meet. 1-c
Come, choose her for me! Let her be
Stately or dumpy, brown or fair,
If only she'll agree that we
Should learn to dwell in harmony,
Giving a gay good-bye to care,—
A beatific way to dwell!
Come, Queen, be gracious to my prayer!
But, no! Such maidens here are rare;
89 THE FRENCH FORMS
You'd scarce find such a demoiselle

Along the mead of Asphodel! 2-d
The Quest, Clement Wood.
Naturally, the rhyming scheme of the texte (which is 1, 2, 1, 2
here), dictates the rhyming of the sixth, ninth and tenth lines of each
main stanza. In other examples, the quatrain that forms the texte may
have any quatrain rhyming, and so a similar extent dictates similar
rhymes in each stanza. It is permissible to use the same rhymes in
each stanza, except where the rhyme sound of the texte line ordains
differently. In other words the four stanzas might be:
1-a, 2-b, 1-c, 2-d
3,4,3,3,4, 1,3,3, 1, 1-a
3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2-b
3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 1,3, 3, 1, 1-c
3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2-d
This is not required by the strict rules.
The Sestina
Arnaut Daniel, a Provencal troubadour, invented the sestina at the
end of the thirteenth century. In France it has been slightly popular.
Dante and Petrarch liked to use it. Here are the rules, as drawn up by
Daniel and his followers in Italy, Spain and Portugal:
1. The sestina has six stanzas—each of six lines, of the same
length—and a concluding three-line stanza.
2. The lines of the six stanzas end with the same six words, not
rhyming with each other; these end words are chosen exclusively
from two-syllabled nouns.
3. The arrangement of these six terminal words follows a regular
law, very complex in ancient times, and altered toward simplicity
later, as appears hereafter.
4. The closing three-line stanza uses the six terminal words, three
at the centers of the lines, three at their ends.
Modern usage permits the variation of allowing the termyiating
words to rhyme, either on two rhyming sounds, as Swinburne uses it,
or on three. In every case, the six terminal words must be repeated,

with no change in sound or spelling, through each succeeding stanza.
The order for the six terminal words in the six successive stanzas is as
follows:
1st stanza 1,2,3,4,5,6

2nd stanza 6, 1 , 5 , 2 , 4 , 3
3rd stanza 3 , 6 , 4 , 1,2,5
4th stanza 5 , 3 , 2 , 6 , 1,4
5th stanza 4,5, 1,3,6,2
6th stanza 2, 4, 6, 5, 3, 1
The concluding half stanza ends with 2, 4 and 6; and uses 1, 3 and 5
at the beginning—not necessarily as thefirstwonl—of the lines; or at
the half line, in rhymes that permit their introduction there.
Here is an example: The numerals refer to terminal words, not
rhyme sounds.
We are the smiling comfortable homes, 1

With happy families enthroned therein, 2
Where baby souls are brought to meet the world, 3
Where women end their duties and desires, 4
For which men labor as the goal of life, 5
That people worship now instead of God. 6
Do we not teach the child to worship God?— 6
Whose soul's young range is bounded by the homes 1
Of those he loves, and where he learns that life 5
Is all constrained to serve the wants therein, 2
Domestic needs and personal desires,— 4
These are the early limits of his world. 3
And are we not the woman's perfect world, 3
Prescribed by nature and ordained of God, 6
Beyond which she can have no right desires, 4
No need for service other than in homes? 1
For doth she not bring up her young therein? 2
And is not rearing young the end of life? 5
And man? What other need hath he in life 5
Than to go forth and labor in the world, 3
And struggle sore with other men therein? 2
91 THE FRENCH FORMS
Not to serve other men, nor yet his God, 6

But to maintain these comfortable homes,— 1
The end of all a normal man's desires. 4
Shall not the soul's most measureless desires 4
Learn that the very flower and fruit of life 5
Lies all attained in comfortable homes, 1
With which life's purpose is to dot the world 3
And consummate the utmost will of God, 6
By sitting down to eat and drink therein. 2
\ea, in the processes that work therein— 2
Fulfilment of our natural desires— 4
Surely man finds the proof that mighty God 6
For to maintain and reproduce his life 5
Created him and set him in the world; 3
And this high is best attained in homes. 1
Are we not homes? And is not all therein? 1, 2
Wring dry the world to meet our wide desires! 3, 4
We crown all life! We are the aim of God! 5, 6
Homes, Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Here the lines end on accented syllables, and by no means on two-syl-

labled nouns exclusively. There is no sestina in any of the collections
in English which follows this convention; it may be dismissed, with
the reflection that the French, Spanish and Italian languages have
more double rhymes than English.
The movements of each terminal word follow a definite pattern, as
a graph of the numbered terminal words will show. The order of posi-
tion is successively 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, etc. By this means
the last word of one stanza terminates the first line of the next; and
meanwhile the last line of next has been shifted from third position to
last, to terminate line one of the ensuing stanza.
Swinburne uses, as terminal words in one of his rhymed sestinas,
day, night, way, light, may, delight, as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; and thereafter
achieves alternate rhymes throughout, by creating his own sequence
pattern, as follows: 6, 1,4, 3, 2, 5; 5, 6, 1, 4, 3, 2; 2, 5, 6, 1,4, 3; 3,
2, !, 6, 5, 4; 4, 3, 2, 5, 6, 1, with the terminals of the concluding
triplet light, way, delight (4, 3, 6), and the internal rhymes here day,
night, may ( 1 , 2 , 5). He has worked out even more intricately his
rhymed double sestina, The Complaint of Lisa—twelve stanzas of
twelve lines each, with a concluding sestet, of 150 lines in all.

Charles W. Coleman, in his sestina Love's Going, used three rhyme
sounds, sing, rose, heart, thing, goes, apart; but he retains the
unrhymed sequence formula, and thus has rhyming couplets in four of
his stanzas. Swinburne's variation is to be preferred to this.
Clearly, in writing the sestina, after the first stanza has been com-
pleted, the next task is to write down the terminals for all the lines of
the next five stanzas, and the terminals and center words of the brief
concluding stanza. Then proceed to write. . . .The form is more suit-
able to clever light verse than to poetry.
The Villanelle
The villanelle lends itself to seriousness, as well as to frivolity. It
consists of nineteen lines: five three-lined stanzas, concluding with a
quatrain. The refrain couplet, which terminates the form, consists of
lines one and three of the first triplet. Moreover, line one (the first
half of the refrain) terminates stanzas two and four and line three (the
other half of the refrain), stanzas three and five. Only two rhyming
sounds are used. The following villanelle follows the pattern strictly:
O Singer of Persephone! 1-a

In the dim meadows desolate, 2
Dost thou remember Sicily? 1-b
Still through the ivy flits the bee 1
Where Amaryllis lies in state, 2
Simaetha calls on Hecate, 1
And hears the wild dogs at the gate; 2
Still by the light and laughing sea 1
Poor Polypheme bemoans his fate, 2
O Singer of Pers ephone! 1-a
And still in boyish rivalry 1
Young Daphnis challenges his mate: 2
Slim Lacon keeps a goat for thee; 1
For thee the jocund shepherds wait, 2
93 THE FRENCH FORMS

Theocritus, Oscar Wilde.
Edwin Arlington Robinson pours poetry into the form, in a villanelle

concluding:
There is ruin and decay

In the House on the Hill:
They are all gone away,
There is nothing more to say.
The House on the Hill, Edwin Arlington Robinson.
The Lai and the Virelai

The ancient French lai was composed of couplets of five-syllabled
lines, all on the same rhyme, separated by single lines of two syllables
each, which rhymed with one another. The number of lines in each
stanza was not fixed, nor the number of stanzas in the complete
poem. An improvised example would be:
Summer heat today

In its torrid way,
I see,
With its awful ray
Sears till it must slay
Poor me,
Tree and grass and clay.
It's the bay—the spray
And glee! 2
A curious old tradition connected with the form is that the indentation
of the shorter lines is forbidden. This detail was called arbre fourchu,
a forked tree, from the fancied resemblance of the poem on paper to a
tree with branches projecting. Where lais have more than one stanza,
the two rhymes in each stanza have no reference to the rhymes in any
other.
The virelai or virelai ancien grew out of this, with a sequence of
rhymes throughout. Thus, in a twelve-line stanza, the rhymes would
be 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, I, 1, 2. The next stanza would be 2, 2, 3,
2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3; and so on, until the last stanza appeared as n,

n, 1, n, n, 1, n, n, 1, n, n, 1. Thus each rhyme sound would appear
once in the longer lines, and once in the shorter. The form is too sim-
ple to need illustration.
The virelai nouveau is written throughout on two rhymes. Its initial
rhymed couplet serves as a refrain for the later stanzas; and the two
lines close each stanza alternately until the last, when they both
appear together, but in inverse order. Here is an example which
begins with the couplet as its first stanza.
Good-bye to the Town!—good-bye! la

Hurrah for the sea and the sky! 1-b
July, Austin Dobson.
The second stanza is rhymed, 1, 1, 1,2, 1, 1-a. Its third stanza is 1,
2, 1,2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1-b. The succeeding stanzas are as irregular, but
each is confined to the two rhymed sounds, and the refrains occur in
the prescribed order. And here is the concluding stanza, showing the
refrain reversed:
So Phyllis, the fawn-footed, hie 1

For a hansom! Ere close of the day 2
Between us a "world" must lie,— 1
Hurrah! for the sea and the sky! 1-b
Good-bye to the Town! GOOD-BYE! 1-a
The Sicilian octave at times is used as a fixed form. It consists of
eight iambic five-foot lines, rhymed 1,2, 1, 2, 1,2, 1, 2. No diffi-
culty will be found in writing in this pattern.
The rispetto is an Italian form, with interrhyming lines ranging
from six to ten in number, though not usually exceeding eight. Used
rarely in English, it is usually divided into two stanzas, rhymed 1, 2,
1, 2; 3, 3, 4, 4.
A brief American fixed form, called the sonnette, was originated
by Sherman Ripley and had a vogue for a time. It consisted of seven
five-foot iambic lines, rhymed: 1, 2, 2, 1; 3, 2, 3. It differed only
slightly from the Canopus stanza, already described, which also used
seven five-foot iambic lines, but rhymed them 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3. Both
avoid the terminal couplet, and hence have an uninterrupted flow for
narrative verse.
95 THE FRENCH FORMS
Another recent form is the Douzet, its origin unknown. It consists

of twelve five-foot iambic lines, rhymed as follows: 1, 2, 2, 1; 3, 4, 4,
3; 1, 2, 3, 4. This introduces a novelty in the repetition of rhyme not
encountered so far elsewhere: the concluding quatrain's rhyme
scheme amounting to a summary of the rhyme sounds gone before.
There is no limit to the patterns that ingenuity in versification can
produce. Only the rare few among these achieve enduring popularity.
The Japanese form, the hokku, follows Japanese poetry {tanka or
uta) in having alternate verses of 5 and 7 syllables. The hokku or
haikai consists of only three lines, 5 , 7 , and 5 syllables, or 17 in all.
An improvised example is:
More fleeting than the

Flash of withered windblown leaf,
This thing men call life.
The Japanese tanka ordinarily has 31 syllables, consisting of five
lines, with respectively 5, 7, 5, 7, and 7 syllables. An improvised
example is:
The rippling sea-swell,

Curling upon the gold sand,
And, curving over,
A bough of cherry blossoms,—
Youth shielding eternal age.
Longer Japanese poems may be constructed in the tanka form,

with the invariable alternation of 5 and 7 syllables to the line, and the
addition of a terminal 7-syllabled line. The rhythm in Japanese poetry
is not regarded. The only convention is the number of syllables to the
line.
The Limerick
The limerick is the only fixed form indigenous to the English lan-
guage. It first appeared in Songs for the Nursery, or, Mother Goose's
Melodies for Children, published by Elizabeth Goose, (formerly Ver-
tigoose, married to Thomas Fleet, a Boston printer) in 1719. More-
over, in this collection it appeared in all three of its successive forms.
The first stage opened and closed the five-line form with a nonsense
line:
Hickory, dickory, dock!

The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one—
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock!
Nursery Rhymes, Mother Goose.
The second form, the one used by Edward Lear throughout, ended
the first and fifth line with a geographical name, at times these lines
being identical:
As I was going to Bonner,

Upon my word of honor,
I met a pig
Without a wig,
As I was going to Bonner.
The third and culminating form has a new rhyme sound in the fifth
line—as in this example:
There was an old soldier of Bister

Went walking one day with his sister,
When a cow at one poke
Tossed her into an oak,
Before the old gentleman missed her.
A classic model to follow is the famous limerick—
There was a young lady from Niger,

Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.
More Limericks, Cosmo Monkhouse.
The identity instead of rhyme in lines 2 and 5 cannot spoil the charm
of this, although the pure pattern would avoid it. This would be—
97 THE FRENCH FORMS
remembering that an extra unaccented syllable can be added either

to the 1, 2, 5 rhyme group, or to the 3, 4 group, or to both:
a TUM—ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM

ta TUM—ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM,
ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM
ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM
ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM—ta ta TUM.
In other words, an anapestic pattern, 5, 5, 3, 3, 5 feet to the lines

respectively, rhymed 1, 1,2,2, 1, usually with an iamb opening lines
1 and 2. Any trick rhyming device is permissible, as:
An amorous M. A.
Says that Cupid, that C. D.,
Doesn't cast for his health,
But is rolling in wealth—
He's the John Jaco-B. H.
Anonymous.
This must be read by pronouncing M. A. as "master of arts," and by

rhyming lines two and five properly to it—"caster of darts" and
"Jacob Astor of hearts." Here is one of the tongue-twister variety:
A tutor who tooted the flute

Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"
Four Limericks, Carolyn Wells.
Among other possible variations is:
There was a young lady of Diss,

Who said, "Now I think skating bliss!"
This no more will she state,
For a wheel off her skate
;siq) 3>f!i Suiqpuios dn qsiuy jaq spej^
Anonymous.
The writing of limericks at times becomes extremely popular.

Little Willies
Any form may become, almost overnight, a favorite with poets and
especially light verse writers. Some college student wrote and pub-
lished in his college paper a rhyme proceeding approximately like
this:
Tobacco is a filthy weed.

I like it.
It satisfies no normal need.
I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean;
It's the worst darned stuff I've ever seen.
I like it.
Anonymous.
At once this form was copied by newspaper and other light versifiers
the breadth and length of the land, and is still intermittently alive.
Another form assumed wide popularity, arising from one of Col.
D. Streamer's (Harry Graham's) Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless
Homes:
Billy, in one of his nice new sashes,

Fell in the fire and was burned to ashes.
Now, although the room grows chilly,
I haven't the heart to poke poor Billy.
Tender-Heartedness, Harry Graham.
The quatrain here consists of two couplets, rhymed 1, 1, 2, 2. The

meter combines trochees and dactyls; it might be iambs and anapests,
of course, or any of the four. Somehow Billy became rechristened
Willie, and at least one anonymous volume has appeared since, deal-
ing in this or other simple quatrains with the adventures of Willie and
his family. Among famous ones are:
Willie and two other brats

Licked up all the Rough-on Rats.
Father said, when mother cried,
"Never mind, they'll die outside."
Anonymous.
99 THE FRENCH FORMS
Father heard his children scream,

So he threw them in the stream,
Saying, as he drowned the third,
"Children should be seen, not heard!"
The Stern Parent, Harry Graham.
Late last night I slew my wife
Stretched her on the parquet flooring.
I was loath to take her life,
But I had to stop her snoring.
Necessity, Harry Graham.
Willie poisoned father's tea;
Father died in agony.
Mother looked extremely vexed:
"Really, Will," she said, "what next!"
Anonymous.
The model for a Little Willie, with its trick last line and its sadistic
content, can be taken from any of these.
Light Verse in English

Light verse, including its elegant form called vers de societe,
demands a technical dexterity greater than that of poetry; for the
obviousness and cleverness of the rhyme are a charm here, where they
usually interfere with the emotional effect of poetry. The student of
versification will benefit by studying Tom Hood, for the use of puns
in light verse; Mother Goose, for inspired use of rhythm; Edward Lear
and Lewis Carroll, for shapely nonsense verse; Charles Stuart
Calverly for mastery of every trick of rhyming, and great dexterity in
stanza-devising; W. S. Gilbert, for mastery of the whole field. The
long finale of his lolanthe is his peak in rhyming, and almost the peak
of light verse in English. Split words are a constant device: as in
Carroll's—
Who would not give all else for two p-

Ennyworth of beautiful soup?
Soup of the Evening, Lewis Carroll.
or another surprise rhyming sung by Canning:

Sun, moon, and thou vain world, adieu,

That kings and priests are plotting in;
Here doomed to starve on water-gru-
-El, never shall I see the U-
-Niversity of Gottingen,
-Niversity of Gottingen!
Song by Rogero, George Canning.
Humorous verse need not be clever. A poem like Ernest Lawrence
Thayer's Casey at the Bat is a perpetual favorite because the theme
invokes deep laughter, not because it is trickily versified. Dialect
verse is in a class by itself. In writing dialect verse, be careful
(1) To use dialect spelling only where required.
(2) Not to overuse it or the reader will not understand it.
Such an improvised quatrain as—
Sum peoples iz peculyer,
I reitteratez agen,
They mus' come f'um Atlanta
An' not from Bummin'ham
is full of bad writing. Sum is the correct pronunciation of some, not a
dialect pronunciation; the same is true of iz, reitteratez, and agen.
The same is probably true of peculyer. And why f'um and from in the
same poem? This is as inept as using you and thou (in any form) in
the same poem, to refer to the same person. F'um, mus' and an' are
accurate dialect speech.
Among other forms of light verse are parody, aping the versifying
mannerisms of another; nonsense verse; whimsical verse of many
kinds; mosaic or composite verse, each line taken from some other
poet; macaronic verse, where two or more languages are hashed
together; shaped whimsies, where the typography pictures the theme,
as in the Song of the Decanter, on page 102.
Various forms of typographical oddities may be devised, in which
certain of the lines (as the terminals of each quatrain) represent the
way a person walks, sober, or intoxicated, or the way he falls down.
Acrostics are verses where the opening letters of the lines, or the
closing letters, or letters arrived at by some other system, name a per-
son, or convey a special message. Here is an example:
From your bright sparkling Eyes I was undone;
-Rays, you have; more transparent than the Sun,
101 THE FRENCH FORMS
Amidst its glory in the rising Day

None can you equal in your bright array;
Constant in your calm and unspotted mind,
Equal to all, but will to none Prove kind,
So knowing, seldome one so Young, you'll Find,

Long have I wished, but never dared reveal,
Even though severely Love's Pains I feel;
Xerxes that great, wasn't free from Cupid's Dart,
And all the great Heroes, felt the smart.
Acrostic, George Washington.
The words conveyed by the acrostic are revealed by reading down-

ward the first or italicized letters of each line.
The actual writing of light verse calls upon the versifier for every
resource and device within the technique of versification. The rhymes
should be natural and not rhyme-induced, and the entire treatment
natural and adapted to please and amuse.
There was an old decanter and its

mouth was gaping wide; the
rosy wine had ebbed away
and left its crystal side;
and the wind went
humming—humming
up and down: the
wind it flew, and
through the reed-like
hollow neck the wildest
notes it blew. I placed it in
the window, where the blast
was blowing free, and fancied
that its pale mouth sang the queer-
est strains to me. "They tell me—puny
conquerors! the Plaque has slain his ten,
and war his hundred thousand of the very best

maidens all, come drink from out my cup, the beverage that
dulls the brain, and burns the spirits up; that puts to shame
your conquerors that slay their scores below; for this
has deluged millions with the lava tide of woe. Tho'
in the path of battle darkest streams of blood may
roll, yet while I killed the body, I have damned
the very soul. The cholera, the plague, the
sword such ruin never wrought, as I
in mirth or malice on the inno-
cent have brought. And still I
breathe upon them, and they shrink
before my breath, while year by year my
thousands go my dusty way of death."
Song of the Decanter, Warfield Creath Richardson.

POETRY AND TECHNIQUE
The Vocabulary of Poetry
THE VOCABULARY USED by a poet in his poetry should be the vocabu-
lary that he uses in his living speech. Prose uses this, or else it
becomes stilted and affected. If an orator commences,
O Mississippi, Father of Waters, thou wast engendered in the hills

of Minnehaha; thou hast meandered through meadows green and
valleys dappled for more miles than man computeth,
his hearers feel that there is something strained and unnatural in his
words. The same thought occurs, when poetry, especially modern
poetry, contain words no longer in the living vocabulary of man,
because they have become archaic; or else unknown to the living
vocabulary, because they are artificially constructed to meet the exi-
gencies of rhyme or meter: such words as—
Thou, thee, thy, ye, mineself.

Art (verb form), wast, wert, dost, wilt (verb form), hast, hadst,
wouldst, shouldst, shah, and all verb forms ending in -est, -st
and the like.
'Tis, 'gainst, 'gin, 'tween, 'neath, e'er, and other contractions not
in living speech; as opposed to it's and other contractions used
in living speech.
Wroth, bethink, reft, reaving, athwart, welkin, rathe, fardel, bur-
then, murther, nave, chaps, gins, sooth, Norweyan, proof (for
armor), composition (for terms of peace), ronyon, and all other
archaic, obsolescent or obsolete words.
Except for "unless," memorize for "make memorable," and other
outworn usages of words.
All unnatural and elliptical expressions, improper in living speech,

such as as to for "as if to," bethink me for "recall," for to that for
"for to that end" and the like.
All inversions and strained expressions improper in living speech,
such as the soldier brave, have I seen, I battles fought, and the like.
These are common, because they are rhyme-induced.
Poetry that speaks a dead language is dead from its birth; poetry
that speaks a warped and distorted language is warped and distorted
from its birth. For when real poetry from real poets is encountered,
its speech is as direct, forthright and living as:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all of which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
The Tempest, William Shakespeare.
The captious might suggest inherits for inherit; might point out that
faded is out of place; that "made of" is preferable to "made on"; we
might query the rack. At that, rack is still used in "rack and ruin," a
"cloud-rack," "the rack of a storm"; and rack, used here in the sense
of a vestige, is intelligible and may be regarded as living. And this
poetry was written more than three hundred years ago, by William
Shakespeare, who knew too much, even then, to stud his verse with
thee's and thou's and their outmoded verb forms, welkin, athwart,
amaranthine, and so on.
The test for the phrasing of poetry is: could you have said the same
thing, or its equivalent, to your maid or your butcher, and not been
regarded as eccentric? If your poetry speaks your own living lan-
guage, its vocabulary is acceptable. If it is marred with word fossils
no longer acceptable in living speech, to that extent it falls below its
possible flight.
No word acceptable in acceptable prose is out of place in poetry.
Any word may be so ineptly or awkwardly used in poetry that it
becomes a blemish. When Shakespeare wrote:
105 POETRY AND TECHNIQUE
It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing,
he used idiot magnificently and poetically; when Wordsworth wrote:

Why bustle thus about your door?
What means this bustle, Betty Foy?
Why are you in this mighty fret?
And why on horseback have you set
Him whom you love, your Idiot Boy?
The Idiot Boy, William Wordsworth.
the word idiot is as unpoetic as the rest of the passage. The living
speech, the colloquial, can be magical, poetic, as in this sonnet
sestet:
It is some lie that under a windswept tree,

Touching your lips, I touched my vanished youth,
And found again a young, new ecstasy.
It is a lie, I say. This—this is Truth!
Now—I shall rest. For youth and you are gone.
Tomorrow I shall put my flannels on.
Sonnet, John V. A. Weaver
Edwin Arlington Robinson will be remembered for lines as collo-
quially magical as:
The man who had made other men

As ordinary as arithmetic . . .
I'll have to tell you, Brother Bedivere,
That crowns and orders, and high palaces, . . .
Will not go rolling down to hell just yet
Because a pretty woman is a fool.
Merlin, Edwin Arlington Robinson.
He will have to be forgiven for verse as bookish as:
Born with a face

That on a bullfrog would ensure for life
The lucubrations of a celibate . . .
Less to remembering an obscure monition

Than to confessing an assured renascence—
Roman Barthalow, Edwin Arlington Robinson.
though both of these are not so much archaic as morbidly pedantic.

Frost rarely departs from living speech; he has enriched the language
by phrases immortally and colloquially true, including the familiar:
The trial by market everything must come to.
Even slang has its place: did not Shakespeare have Hamlet say this?
So I do still, by these pickers and stealers . . .

Hamlet, William Shakespeare.
Nor is Sandburg more unpoetic, when he writes:
Play it across the table.

What if we steal this city blind?
If they want anything let 'em nail it down.
Cahoots, Carl Sandburg.
John Livingston Lowes, in Convention and Revolt in Poetry, phrases

words of gold for poets to remember:
The very greatest effects of poetry are often produced without the
use of a single word which might not he employed in ordinary
speech.
Thomas Gray wrote in one of his letters:
The language of the age is never the language of poetry. . . . Our

poetry . . . has a language peculiar to itself.
This attitude explains the common idea permitting dead speech in

verse; it cannot resurrect poets following it from the graves their prac-
tice of this dug. Such poets live only insofar as they violate this state-
ment.
Wordsworth followed this, when he preluded his The Force of
Prayer with the double archaism:
What is good for a bootless bene?

Witty Mary Lamb flashed back, when her brother Charles read this to
her, "A shoeless pea," and punned this absurd line into immortality.
And there is Rossetti's phrase from his rendition of the Villon ballade,
From Love he won such dule and teen!
Poetry does not gain by using such mummified speech.

Kipling was more successful than any previous poet so far in using
the language of the machine age in poetry:
It is their care, in all the ages, to take the buffet and cushion the
shock;
It is their care that the gear engages; it is their care that the
switches lock;
It is their care that the wheels run truly; it is their care to
embark and entrain,
Tally, transport, and deliver duly the sons of Mary by land and
main.
The Sons of Martha, Rudyard Kipling.
In a memorandum dealing with the writing of Leaves of Grass, Walt

Whitman wrote:
I had great trouble in leaving out the stock

"poetical" touches, but succeeded at last.
Even this great plain-speaking master slipped back, as he aged, into

stock poeticisms such as:
'mid, unrecked, know I, yield we, ye valleys grand.
But in the main he avoided this blemish. And he has made the task
easier for those who followed him.
Sidney Lanier lays stress upon phonetic syzygy, that extension of
alliteration which includes all related consonants, as t, d, th, and TH;
g, k, ch, and other gutturals; and so on. Other authorities deal exten-
sively with onomatopoeia, the language device in which words repro-
duce the sounds they are intended to convey, as in—
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain.

Chorus from Atalanta in Calydon, Algernon Charles Swinburne.
With any inner sense of music, we will avoid lines as awkward, inept
and unsingable as Browning's familiar:
Irks care the crop-full bird, frets double the maw-crammed beast?
Rabbi Ben Ezra, Robert Browning.
Let your poetic speech be your own living speech at its best, dictated
by an innate sense of music, and the result will satisfy.
On Translating Poetry
Poetry cannot be translated; it can only be recreated in the new lan-
guage. We are dealing with the ingredients of verse, not of poetry, in
this book: a study of the essence of poetry would not deal with iambs
and cinquains and sestinas, it would deal with the stimuli that most
deeply affect the human emotions. The emotion-arousing quality in
words cannot be stated otherwise even in the same language, much
less in another one. There is no translation in English for emotion-
arousing words such as home, mother, love, and so on; not house or
domicile, not mamma or maternal ancestor or Moms or ma, not affec-
tion, or devotion or lust or rut. How can night be expressed in another
word, or moon or sun, or May, or December? Each of these words—
to some extent each word in the language—has a tone color, a history,
a personality, an effectiveness of its own. With many of the words
in the language, each person has strange and personal associations,
naturally untranslatable. There are emotions which are not translat-
able from country to country, but which can only be recreated by
some remote equivalent. When Noyes climaxes a poem with the glori-
ous invocation,
Englande!—Englande!—Englande!—Englande!
Marchant Adventurers, Alfred Noyes.
he utters a battle cry that only an Englishman could thrill to. Its word
music is lost the moment it reappears as Angleterre! Angleterre!
Angleterre! Angleterre! "Finland! Finland! Finland! Finland!" would
not thrill similarly, though the rhythm and word tune are the same. A
fourfold repetition of Switzerland, or Czechoslovakia, or, queerly
enough, even of United States would not evoke a similar thrill. More-
over, Shelley could have used the same repetition of England, in a
poem in the bitter mood of The Masque of Anarchy, and it would have
evoked utter detestation: so intangible are the elements in sounds that
uplift or break the heart, that send a Cardigan or a Pickett with a
whole brigade of men to death at the monosyllable "Charge!"—that
spell heaven in a girl's whispered "Yes," and a lifetime's dearth in her
even briefer "No."
In Keat's Ode to a Nightingale we have two lines of peak magic:
Charmed magic casements, opening on the foam

Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
These two lines cannot be said differently in English without wreck-

ing the magic. Accurately paraphrased, they would give:
Enchanted supernatural windows, unclosing on the bubbles

Of dangerous oceans, in unreal romantic countries dejected.
There is no poetry here now. Translate it with absolute fidelity into

another language, and the poetry is as dead. It must be recreated by a
poet of like emotional power in the other language, if it is to survive
there as poetry.
Fitzgerald did such magic, when he took a literal translation of
the poetic Rubdiydt of Omar Khayyam, such as these two groups of
lines:
Everywhere that there has been a rose or tulip-bed,

It has come from the redness of the blood of a king;
Every violet shoot that grows from the earth
Is a mole that was once on the cheek of a beauty.
Quatrains, Omar Khayyam.
This is inaccurate botanically and only whimsically effective as an

idea. It is certainly not poetry. Nor is:
Hell is a spark from my useless worries,

Paradise is a moment of time when I am tranquil.
Quatrains, Omar Khayyam.
But out of this material Fitzgerald wrought—created, recreated—

what thousands hail as poetry:
I sometimes think that never blows so red

The Rose, as where some buried Caesar bled;
That every Hyacinth the Garden wears
Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head. . . .
Heav'n but the Vision of fulfilled Desire,
And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerged from, shall so soon expire.
Rubdiydt of Omar Khayyam, Edward Fitzgerald.
This is no longer Omar Khayyam; it is far more Fitzgerald, inspired

by Omar Khayyam. The reflection about the rose is acceptable now;
the whimsy about the hyacinth is more pleasing to us than the more
fleshly Oriental passion of the mole on the cheek of a beauty. The
definitions of heaven and hell no longer resemble the original at all.
Oriental impassivity and superiority to things earthly have been
replaced by a viewpoint accurate enough to have come out of Freud,
and acceptable as concentrated truth to many of us. All of this is
expressed with the most effective devices of versification, a language
in which poetry must speak, if it speaks at all.
Something like this must be done, each time you seek to make a
translation. A literal translation can give the idea, but never the
poetry.
For a last example, here is an accurate translation of the first five
verses of the first chapter of Genesis by Fagnani:
At the beginning of Elohim's forming the heavens and the earth,

when darkness was upon the face of the abyss, Elohim said, "Let
there be light," and there was light.
Elohim saw that the light was excellent.
And Elohim separated the light from the darkness and he called
the light Day and the darkness he called Night.
Evening came, and Morning came.
The Beginning of History, According to the Jews,
Charles Prosper Fagnani.
This is near to poetry, so magnificent is the primitive conception. But

it is not mere familiarity that makes us recognize, from the hands of
greater poets writing in English, the magnificent poetry of the same,
verses, as they appear in the King James Bible:
Ill POETRY AND TECHNIQUE
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the
light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis, King James's Translation.
The most accurate translation of a poem is no more than rude notes

for a poem to be built upon. There is always need for accurate rendi-
tions of the poetry of other lands and tongues. But, unless the English
versifier reissues the product as his own re-creation, it remains mere
verse, a museum curiosity rather than impassioned song.
Exercises in Versification
To give the book its greatest value, the reader, having reached this
point, should start over again, and write exercises in each poetic
device treated. Practice iambic lines, each number of feet to the line,
rhymed and unrhymed. The same with trochaic, anapestic, and
dactylic lines. At times seek to pour poetry into these molds; at times
find the relief of light verse in them.
Essay the stanzas, from the couplet up to such involved arrange-
ments as the Spenserian stanza and terza rima. Work on sonnets of
both kinds: aiming at technical mastery, rather than poetic excellence,
at first. Get the patterns etched on your mind, and then you can write
in them accurately without consciously remembering them. Try the
solace of concentrated and poetric free verse. And then, if you care
to, go to the fixed forms one after another, preferably in light verse,
and among all these attempts you will startle yourself by achieving at
times a veritable poem or gem of light verse when you merely
intended finger exercises.
And at all times, when the poetic mood comes, write what comes,
from a phrase, a line, a couplet, to an epic fragment: and preserve it,
on the chance that, sooner or later, the rest of the poem will come.

THE COMPLETE RHYMING

DICTIONARY
What Rhyme Is
RHYME IS THE identity in sound of an accented vowel in a word, usu-
ally the last one accented, and of all consonantal and vowel sounds
following it, with a difference in the sound of the consonant immedi-
ately preceding the accented vowel.
Rhyme thus deals exclusively with sound. Sound is indicated in all
dictionaries by phonetic markings. In this rhyming dictionary, each
group of words that rhyme is preceded by a heading consisting of
the accented vowel, marked phonetically, and followed by all the con-
sonantal and vowel sounds following it. The unaccented syllables
are not marked phonetically as thoroughly, since they are rela-
tively unimportant: except to distinguish between rhyme sounds like
pasture (AS'tur) and faster (AS'tur), and to identify certain long
vowels.
The one-syllabled rhymes are given first, with the rhyme-sound
headings arranged alphabetically, from the first A sound to the last U
sound. Then follow the two-syllabled rhymes, similarly arranged;
and, last of all, the three-syllabled rhymes.
The Vowel Sounds

In this phonetic arrangement, the vowel sounds used are indicated
as follows. After each is given the various ways in which the sound
appears in spelling in English
A
A as in ale; heard also in pain, day, break, veil, obey, gaol, gauge,
eh.
A as in care; heard also in there, pear, air, heir, prayer, e'er.

A as in add; heard also in plaid, bade.
A as in arm, father; heard also in hearth, sergeant, memoir.
A as in ask. Strictly, authorities say that A should be so
pronounced (midway between the A in father and the A in
add) when followed by s, th, for morn plus a consonant. In
, practice, this sound is usually pronounced like the A in add.
The rule becomes absurd when we try to pronounce pan with
the A sound in add, and pans with a different A sound.
E
E as in me; heard also in eve, feet, beam, deceive, people, key,
Caesar, machine, field, quay, phoebe.
£ as in here; heard also in fear, dreary, weird.
E as in end; heard also in heifer, leopard, friends, Aetna, feather,
asafoetida, bury, any, Thames, said, says.
I
! as in ice; heard also in vie, rye, height, eye, aisle, aye (meaning
yes), sky, buy, choir.
I as in ill; heard also in sieve, English, pretty, been, breeches,
women, busy, build, nymph, hymnal.
O
6 as in old; heard also in note, oh, roam, foe, shoulder, grow, owe,
sew, yeoman, beau, hautboy, brooch.
0 as in or; heard also in all, talk, swarm, haul, caught, law,
fought, broad, memoir.
6 as in odd; heard also in want, wash, shone.
01 as in oil; heard also in boy.
OT) as in foot; heard also in full, wolf, could.
OU as in out; heard also in cow, sauerkraut.
U
U as in use; heard also in beauty, feud, pew, queue, lieu, view, cue,
suit, yule, you, do, rule, true, food, group, drew, fruit, canoe,
rheum, maneuver, blue. (The difference in sound between
dew and do is that dew is properly dyU, with a consonantal y
sound preceding the long U. This difference does not affect
rhyming, except as it concerns preceding consonants. For the

sake of convenience, the yU group ordinarily precedes the U
group.)
U as in urn; heard also in fern, err, heard, sir, word, journal,
myrrh, colonel.
U as in up; heard also in won, one, does, flood, double.
The Consonant Sounds

The consonant sounds used in English, and in most instances
spelled phonetically in the headings preceding all groups of words
rhyming together, are as follows:
B as in baby.
CH as in chair; heard also in, match, question, righteous.
D as in did; heard also in robbed.
F as infill; heard also in philosophy, laugh.
G as in go, anger; heard also in guard, plague, ghost.
GZ as the sound represented by x in exist.
H as in hat.
HW as the sound represented by wh in what.
J as in joke; heard also in gem, religion, pigeon, soldier, edge.
K as in keep; heard also in chorus, epoch, cube, pack, conquer,
pique.
KS as the sound represented by x in vex.
KW as the sound represented by qu in queen.
L as in late.
M as in man.
N as in no.
N The French nasal sound, not natural in English.
NG as in sing; heard also in tongue, bank, junction, linger, canker.
P as in papa.
R as in red; heard also in rhombus.
S as in so, this; heard also in cell, scene, hiss.
SH as in she; heard also in machine, ocean, social, conscious, sure,
nauseous, pension, issue, passion, nation.
T as in time.
TH as in then.
th as in thin.
TU as in nature. This sound is more accurately TY consonantal.
V as in van.
W as in want; heard also in persuade, choir.
Y as in yet; heard also in union.
Z as in zone; heard also in is, lives, Xenophon.
ZH as the sound represented by z in azure; heard in glazier, plea-
sure, vision, abscission, rouge, genre.
A few warnings are important:

C is not a separate sound. Words spelled with c appear under K
orS.
Q is not a separate sound. Words spelled with qu or q appear under
KW.
X is not a separate sound. Words spelled with x appear under GZ
or KS; initial x appears as Z.
NK, in words like rank, is properly NGK and so appears.
To form plurals and other inflections, F, K, P and T are followed by
the sound S; the plain vowel, G, D, B, M, N, S, V, J, CH, L, R, KS
(X) and Z are followed by the sound Z.
To form past tenses and other inflections, CH, S, F, K, and P are
followed by the sound T; the plain vowel, G, D, B, M, N, S, V, J, L, R
and Z are followed by the sound D.
Sound Does Not Depend on Spelling

Sound does not depend on spelling. "Eye-rhymes," or words
matched as rhymes only because they are spelled alike, need not be
rhymes at all. For instance, here are five different sounds spelled
alike, ough:
cough, enough, plough, though, through.
It is as logical to rhyme these together as to rhyme earth-hearth,

bare-are, north-forth, real-steal.
Again note that timber and climber are spelled alike; but the first
rhymes with limber (IM'bur) and the second with rhymer (IM'ur).
Three more words spelled alike but rhymed very differently are
ginger (INJ'ur); singer (ING'ur); and finger (ING'ur). Until cow
rhymes with blow it is well to avoid all these words spelled alike but
pronounced differently.
This Dictionary Makes Consonance

Accurate
Consonance consists in the identity of all consonantal and vowel
sounds after the accented vowel; and a difference in the accented
vowel. This dictionary, classified according to strict phonetic pronun-
ciation, for the first time makes consonance easy and accurate. Alpha-
betically arranged by the headings preceding each group of rhyme
words, the following three rhyme sounds appear together: O'le
(wholly), O'le (Raleigh), OL'e (folly). Naturally these three groups
are in consonance with each other.
To get the other groups of rhyming words which may be used in
consonance with these three, look up successively A'le, AL'e, E'le,
E'le, OIL'e, OOL'e, OUL'e, UL'e; and you have all the possible
sounds in consonance with the three sounds given. You may stretch a
point and add AR'le, AR'le, ER'le, and UR'le if you wish, and now
nothing conceivable is omitted.
Consonance, always used by the best poets, is growing so increas-
ingly in favor that this use of the present Complete Rhyming Dic-
tionary may become very important.
***
This volume contains hundreds of rhyming words omitted

from other collections: words recently added to the vocabulary, espe-
cially in the fields of general science, pure and applied; inventions
and popular applications of them; and the vivid field of recent gener-
ally acceptable slang words. The effort has been to include all words
that are a proper part of the living vocabulary of man, for it is in this
language that living poetry must speak.
Archaic and obsolete words, words used in an artificial or solemn
style, and words whose pronunciation in poetry may vary from their
pronunciation in prose have also been included. They are available to
the seeker who wishes to use them, each in its proper niche, usually
identified by being in italics.
In addition to this, the present volume contains more proper names
than were ever listed in a rhyming dictionary before. This includes
especially:
The familiar first names of boys and girls, men and women.
The familiar and easily rhymable geographical names.
The more familiar surnames, family names, or last names.

In listing proper names, the name is often not repeated when it dif-
fers only from a common word by the use of a capital. Thus, since
wood is included, Wood is not. Where the spelling differs, the
rhyming proper name is usually added. Thus to main is added Maine.
Moreover, unnecessary duplication of words is generally avoided
throughout the book. A large number of words ending in -y is given
as rhymes for the long E sound; but at the end of this large list, the
reader is referred to other words ending in -y, to be found in such
three-syllabled rhyme groups as the words rhyming with ability,
which are to be consulted, if the seeker desires more rhymes for long
E. Moreover, at the end of the rhyming words listed to rhyme with
fade, the reader is referred to the list of words rhyming on the long A
sound, to which -ed is to be added, to make further rhymes for fade;
and this is to be consulted, if the seeker desires more rhymes for fade.'
There is as little such cross-reference as possible, and it is never per-
plexing.
The dictionary is not wholly complete, and probably none will ever
be. Rare and unusual scientific and geographic terms and names, for
instance, as a rule have been omitted. It will add to the value of your
copy of the book if you add, at the appropriate place, all omitted
words that you discover.
In the lists of words rhyming on the last syllable and on the syllable
before the last, certain words are included which have no rhyming
mates. The monosyllables or words accented on the last syllable
which appear to be rhymeless are:
aitch, H bourne culm

avenge, revenge bourse cusp
avenged, revenged bulb doth
bilge coif film
forge peart sylph
fugue porch torsk
gulf, engulf pork twelfth
lounge poulp plagued, unplagued
mauve prestige warmth
month puss wasp
morgue recumb wharves
mourned, bemourned, rouge wolf
unmourned sauce wolves
mouthe scarce
of, hereof, thereof, spoilt

whereof swoln
In addition to these forty-three rhymeless sounds, there is a group
which has no rhyme in the living vocabulary:
amongst forth, fourth
breadth ninth
depth sixth
eighth tenth
fifth width
These can all be rhymed by using permissible contractions of archaic
or obsolete forms, such as: clung'st, shed'th, step'th, hate'th, sniff 'th,
pour'th, pine'th, mix'th, pen'th, and skid'th. There is a limited group
of words which find their rhyming mates only in proper names,
including:
alb (De Kalb) hemp (Kemp) oblige (Lije)
There are other words which have no proper rhyming mates, but have
words so close in sound that they are used as rhyming mates by many
poets:
blague (vague) en masse (class)
raj (dodge) basque (mask, masque)
wand (pond) else (belts)
melange (blanc mange) grilse (wilts)
swap (top) Welsh (belch)

RHYMES; SINGLE RHYMES
In compound words—words consisting of two or more words
united—the parts of the words may be joined without a hyphen, may
be joined with a hyphen, or may be written separately. In some words
usage is fixed; in others it varies. No standard rule is followed; though
the hyphen today is less used than formerly. In this book, the usual
practice of the best prose writers and poets is followed, modified in
instances by the editor's own preference. In general, poets and versi-
fiers make such decisions for themselves in each instance.
A
These words include the following accented vowel sounds:
A as in ale; heard also in pain, day, break, veil, obey, gaol, gauge,
eh.
A as in care; heard also in there, pear, air, heir, prayer, e'er.
A as in add; heard also in plaid, bade.
A as in arm, father; heard also in hearth, sergeant, memoir.
A as in ask. In practice, this is usually pronounced like the A
sound in add.

(Note on Archaic Verb Forms Among Triple Rhymes — The archaic

verb forms ending in -est and -eth have not as a rule been listed
among the triple rhymes, to avoid needlessly expanding the book.
When desired, they can be found by locating the present participles
of triple-rhymed verbs, the -ing form: such forms as laboring, brack-
eting, fracturing, dallying, hampering, clamoring, meandering, and
the rest. These can be turned without difficulty into the desired
archaic forms: as, laborest, laboreth; bracketest, bracketeth; and so
with all of them.)

A three-foot iambic line would be:

All hail to you, my friends!

A four-foot iambic line would be:

All hail to you, my worthy friends!

A five-foot iambic line would be:

All hail to you, my wholly worthy friends!

In hailing friendship's wholly worthy sons,

A word ending on an accented syllable is said to have a masculine

The scansion for this would be: .

Good morn-1 ing,

And then the little Hiawatha

By adding an accented syllable at the beginning of each line, this

Now and then the little Hiawatha
