The meter of a sonnet mainly includes the number of lines, rhyme, syllables, tone, structure, etc. Now we will briefly introduce its content and the evolution of the three poetic styles one by one.
1. Number of lines. Sonnet requires fourteen lines, and each line is not necessarily a complete sentence. Sometimes, for the sake of rhyme, a sentence with a coherent meaning is divided into two lines, but the number of words in each line does not necessarily have to be the same.
2. Structure. Sonnet is generally divided into two parts: front and back. The number of lines in the front and back parts of different poem styles is different. The style consists of two four-line stanzas (***8 lines) and two three-line stanzas (***6 lines). Si style and Sha style are composed of three stanzas of four lines (***12 lines) and one stanza of two lines (***2 lines), forming a trend of succession, transition and combination. The extreme one is Shelley's sonnet, which consists of four three-line stanzas (***12 lines) and one two-line stanza.
3. Rhyme and rhyme. Sonnets are one of the difficulties and characteristics of the sonnet style. Sonnets are based on different poetic styles: 4-5 in the Bi style, 6 in the Sri style, and 7 in the Sha style. English words are generally composed of polysyllables. Rhyme refers to the last syllable of the last word in each line. According to regulations, it must be the same as rhyme. The arrangement of the rhymes before and after each part is: abba abba. cde d c d (4 rhymes) or c d e c d e (5 rhymes) , belongs to holding rhyme; Si style belongs to set rhyme, abab bcbc cdcd ee, the last two sentences are couplets; Sha style belongs to double body, abab cdcd efef gg.
4. Matching of light and accent. Quatrains in Chinese rhythmic poetry are required to alternate between straight and oblique lines in each line to make the tone ups and downs, sonorous and musical. Although sonnets do not require the same number of words in each line, they require the same footstep, and each footstep has a lightness and a heavyness. Two syllables, the Si and Sha styles require five steps per line and ten syllables; the other style requires eleven syllables; French requires 12 syllables. Below, we will give four lines for each part of the first part of each body, and give an example for each part of the second part to illustrate its outline.
The first stanza and the last three sentences of the other style. For example: Hobskin's poem "The Sublime God" can be said to be a typical style.
