Today’s lesson will focus on “Sonnet”.

(Read the short introduction found in the LM)

Here are sample poems from Petrarch’s - Students reading the poem.
“Canzoniere”. Let them enjoy the rhyme and rhythm, (LAURA, THE WHITE DOE, SPRING)
and discover the message of each poem.

Before they start reading let them think about

this: How would you describe someone who are
passionately in love with?

D. Discussion

- A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem in iambic

pentameter. Came from an Italian word Students listen and take note important points.
“sonetto” – “a little sound or song”
- Iambic Pentameter is a poetic form which
poets and playwrights typically used to write
poems in Elizabethan England. It is the meter
that Shakespeare mostly uses.
- Meter in poetry is a rhythm of accented and
unaccented syllables arranged into feet.
- Iamb: has the first syllable unaccented and the
second accented.
- Pentameter: Penta is from the Greek for five.
Meter is really the pattern.
- Rhyme the correspondence of two or more
words with similar-sounding final syllables.
- Rhyme Scheme is the arrangement of rhymes
in a poem or stanza.

This time let’s watch the video about Italian

and Elizabethan Sonnet. Watch attentively and listen
carefully. Then take note the important points to
remember.
Types of Sonnet:

The Shakespearean Sonnet, or English

Sonnet, consists of fourteen lines (like the Petrarchan
Sonnet), the lines are divided into stanzas very
differently.

This sonnet is composed using three

quatrains (three stanzas consisting of four lines each)
and a concluding couplet (a two-line stanza). The
rhyme scheme of this sonnet is alternating, throughout
the quatrains, and ends in a rhyming couplet.
Therefore, the rhyme scheme of the Shakespearean
Sonnet is as follows: a b a b c d c d e f e f g g

Formula: 3 quatrains (4) + couplet (2) =14 lines

4+4+4+2=16

SONNET XVIII Rhyme Scheme

By William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? a
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; b
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, c
And often is his gold complexion dimmed; d
And every fair from fair sometime declines, c
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed; d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, e
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; f
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, e
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: f
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, g
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. g
(Shakespearean or Elizabethan/English Sonnet)
The Italian, or Petrarchan sonnet is written
in iambic pentameter. The sonnet consists of fourteen
lines, separated into an eight-line stanza and a six-line
stanza. The first stanza (with eight lines) is called an
octave and follows the following rhyme pattern:
abbaabba
The second stanza (consisting of six lines) is
called a sestet and follows one of the following rhyme
patterns: c d c d c d, c d e c d e, c d e c e d,
c d e d c e, c d d c d c.

Formula: octave + sestet =14 lines (8+6 =16)

 When I Consider How My Light is Spent
By John Milton Rhyme Scheme

When I consider how my light is spent a

Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, b
And that one talent which is death to hide? b
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent a
To serve therewith my Maker, and present a
My true account, lest he returning chide; b
“Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?” b
I fondly ask, but patience to prevent a
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth that need c
Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best d
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state e
Is kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed c
And post o’er land and ocean without rest: d
They also serve who only stand and wait.” e
(Petrarchan or Italian Sonnet)
Additional Type of Sonnet:
(Spenserian sonnet, a sonnet in which the
lines are grouped into three interlocked quatrains and a
couplet and the rhyme scheme is abab, bcbc, cdcd, ee.
It is the combination of Petrarchan and Shakespearean
Sonnet.)

E. Application (Group Activity)

Group 1 will deliver the poem poetically.
Group 2 will identify the rhyme scheme
of the sonnet.
Group 3 will determine its type (sonnet) by
showing the thought structure.
Group 4 will explain why the poem given is an
example of a sonnet.

SPRING
Translated by Morris Bishop Rhyme Scheme

Zephyr returns, and scatters everywhere a

New flowers and grass, and company does bring, b
Procne and Philomel, in sweet despair, a
And all the tender colors of the Spring. b
Never were fields so glad, nor skies so fair; a
And Jove exults in Venus’ prospering. b
Love is in all the water, earth, and air, a
And love possesses every living thing. b
But to me only heavy sighs return c
For her who carried in her little hand d
My heart’s key to her heavenly sojourn. c
The birds sing loud above the flowering land; d
Ladies are gracious now.—Where deserts burn c
The beasts still prowl on the ungreening sand. d
(Petrarchan or Italian Sonnet)

each sonnet and tell whether it is Shakespearean or Petrarchan sonnet.
LAURA
Translated by Morris Bishop
She used to let her golden hair fly free
For the wind to toy and tangle and molest;
Her eyes were brighter than the radiant west.
(Seldom they shine so now.) I used to see
Pity look out of those deep eyes on me.
("It was false pity," you would now protest.)
I had love's tinder heaped within my breast;
What wonder that the flame burned furiously?
She did not walk in any mortal way,
But with angelic progress; when she spoke,
Unearthly voices sang in unison,
She seemed divine among the dreary folk
Of earth. You say she is not so today?
Well, though the bow's unbent, the wound bleeds on.

SONNET 29
By William Shakespeare
When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless1 cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least.
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For the sweet love remembered such wealth
brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
(Answer: abab cdcd eaea ff, Shakespearean or
Elizabethan/English Sonnet)
