Sonnet Poetry

Overview/History of Sonnet Poetry

A sonnet has come to be known as generally as a poem containing 14 lines of meter of beat. Traditionally, sonnets have been classified into groups based on the rhyme scheme. William Shakespeare wrote his sonnets to rhyme: abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets which follow this rhyme scheme are called Shakespearean Sonnets.

Purpose of Sonnet Poetry

Sonnets were first written in Italian and were traditionally love poems. Though the sonnet is a form that can be analyzed with, it has remained true to its original length of fourteen lines and its Anglicized meter of rhyme.

Example of a Sonnet

Sonnet
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

Ye ladies, walking past me piteous-eyed,

Who is the lady that lies prostrate here?
Whom grief o'ercomes, we wonder in no wise,
For also the same thing befalleth us,
Yet if thou watch the movement of her eyes,
Of her thou shalt be straightaway conscious.
O weep no more; thou art all wan with sighs. Can this be even she my heart holds dear?
Nay, if it be so, speak, and nothing hide.
Her very aspect seems itself beside,
And all her features of such altered cheer
That to my thinking they do not appear
Hers who makes others seem beatified.
'If thou forget to know our lady thus,

(Trans. D.G. Rossetti)
