西方英文诗歌诗体纵览(4)

Oft makes me wayle so hard a desire.
（第二段三拍子，韵律为：fgg）
（每一诗行含10音节）注解：这首十四行诗含有一个完整的三拍子韵式：efe, 最后一个“三拍子”（三行）韵式并不遵从三拍子韵式，而是一种三拍子和十四行诗的混合处理方法，即遵守了十四行诗最后两行“对偶”的要求，这两行押相同的韵，即起韵按照三拍子用“f”但对偶句用相同的韵。所以为“fgg”。
（2）切短（Curtal）格式
显然，十四行诗体的切短格式必然会使之少于十四行。
比如：
From La Vita Nuova
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)
And now (for I must rid my name of ruth)
Behooves me speak the truth
Touching thy cruelty and wickedness:
Not that they be not known; but ne"ertheless
I would give hate more stress
With them that feed on love in every sooth.
Out of this world thou hast driven courtesy,
And virtue, dearly prized in womanhood;
And out of youth’s gay mood
The lovely lightness is quite gone through thee.
（只有10行，比较少见的变体，通常出自一些著名诗人之手）
（3）斯宾塞诗体
Amoretti
Edmund Spenser (c. 1552-1599)
What guile is this, that those her golden tresses(a)
She doth attire under a net of gold;(b)
And with sly skill so cunningly them dresses,(a)
That which is gold or hair, may scarce be told?(b)
