Tail sonnet
The tail sonnet or tailed sonnet ( Italian sonetto caudato ) is a special form of sonnet in which the classical 14zeiligen sonnet form by, Coda is supplemented, one from one or more trios existing final group of verses.
The coda was initially just an eleven-silvery rhyming with the last verse or an elf-silvery pair with its own rhyme, from the 14th century it consists of one or more additional terzets, formed by a seven-syllable followed by a rhyming elf-silvery pair, the seven-syllable the rhyme of the previous one Record verse. So you have a coda with a trio as the rhyme scheme, for example
- [abbaabba cdecde eff],
with two thirds
- [abbaabba cdecde eff fgg]
etc. The shape goes back to Francesco Berni and was used in Italian poetry, for example by Michelangelo . The tail sonnet was introduced into English literature by John Milton , who used the form for his satirical poem On the New Forcers of Conscience under the Long Parliament . Further tail sonnets are by Gerard Manley Hopkins ( That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection ), Albert Samain and Rainer Maria Rilke .
