Enclosed rhyme (or enclosing rhyme) is the rhyme scheme "abba" (that is, where the first and fourth lines, and the second and third lines rhyme). Enclosed-rhyme quatrains are used in introverted quatrains, as in the first two stanzas of Petrarchan sonnets. ==Examples== :How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, A :Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year! B :My hasting days fly on with full career, B :But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th. A ::''(From John Milton's "On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-Three") :Telling me again where I went wrong, :Just listen to the laughter of the falling rain - :When everyone knows now, in vain, :That it was the rain’s fault all along. :Rainfall, you're no friend of mine. :Where were you when she was storming out? :When I was pleading and trying not to shout? :For you and me now, it’s the end of the line. :You made silly puddles and watched as my girl left town :You just watched, and with all your power :You didn’t pelt, pour, or shower, :You didn’t even drizzle down. :Surely there was something you could have done? :If you’d poured from the sky :She wouldn't have left me, but you just didn't try: :But you didn't do nothing, you let her walk on. ::''Sidney Beck's Guilty Raindrops'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enclosed rhyme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
