Each set of sounds has one that shall be stressed

and in these two shall there be one is not

of sets of two no less than five be wrought

and with these sets a subject be addressed

if with these lines one seeks to form a verse

the rhymes each line one first must understand

two sets of four the first and last shall stand

between lay those who differ from the first

at the end of all shall be six lines again

cointaineth they the rhythm of above

with rhyme of three and then the same again
