_Spider! thou need'st not run in fear about To shun my curious eyes; I wont humanely crush thy bowels out, Lest thou should'st eat the flies; Nor will I roast thee with a damn'd delight Thy strange instinctive fortitude to see, For there is One who might One day roast me._ A structure analogous to that of the two last-quoted specimens is exhibited in many stanzas occurring in earlier Modern English poetry, as in Cowley, Herbert, Browne, Carew (_a₅ b₄ a₅ b₄ c₄ c₅ d₄ d₅_, _a₅ b₂ a₅ b₂ c₄ c₃ d₅ d₂_, _a₃ b₂ a₃ b₂ c c₄ d d₅_, _a₄ b₂ a₄ b₂ c₃ c₂ d d₃_); other forms, corresponding only in the upsong or downsong to the Middle English stanza quoted above, are _a ~₄ b₂ a ~₃ b₂ c ~₄ d₃ c ~₄ d₃_, _a₄ b ~₃ a₄ b ~₃ b ~₂ b ~₃ c₄ b ~₃_, _a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃ c d₃ c₄ d₃_, &c., used by Burns, Moore, and Mrs. Hemans. For examples see _Metrik_, ii, §§ 417, 418. § =278.= The next group consists of stanzas, one main part of which consists of a half or of a whole tail-rhyme stanza. The first of these two forms is used e.g. by Burns in the song _She's Fair and Fause_ (p. 204), where the stanza consists of four- and three-foot verses on the model _a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃ c c c₄ d₃_: _She's fair and fause that causes my smart, I lo'ed her meikle and lang: She's broken her vow, she's broken my heart, And I may e'en gae hang. A coof cam in wi' rowth o' gear, And I hae tint my dearest dear, But woman is but warld's gear, Sae let the bonie lass gang._ Other stanzas of this class correspond to the formulas _a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃ a a a₄ b₃_, _a ~₄ b₂ a ~₄ b₃ c ~ c ~ c ~₄ b₂_, _a₃ b₂ a₃ b₂ c c c₃ b₂_. For examples see _Metrik_, ii, § 419. There is another form of stanza the first part of which according to the Middle English usage consists of a complete tail-rhyme stanza (cf. the ten-lined stanzas of this group), while the _cauda_ is formed by a rhyming couplet, so that its structure corresponds to the scheme _a a₄ b₃ a a₄ b₃ c c₄_; it occurs in Spenser, _Epigrams_, ii (p. 586): _As Diane hunted on a day, She chaunst to come where Cupid lay, His quiver by his head: One of his shafts she stole away, And one of hers did close convay Into the other's stead: With that Love wounded my Love's hart But Diane beasts with Cupid's dart._ Similar stanzas of other metres are very frequently met with, as e.g. stanzas corresponding to the formulas _a a₄ b₃ c c₄ b₃ d d₅_, _a a₃ b₂ c c₃ b₂ d d₆_, _a a₂ b₃ c c₂ b₃ b b₇_, and _a ~ a ~₄ b₅ c ~ c ~₄ b₅ d d₅_. The reverse order (i.e. _frons_ + two _versus_) we have in _a a₃ b b₂ c₃ b b₂ c₃_ and _a a₅ b b₃ c₅ d d₃ e₅_. For examples see _Metrik_, ii, § 420. A stanza corresponding to the formula _a b₄ c₃ a b₄ c₃ a₄ D₃_ occurs in M. Arnold's _The Church of Brou_ (p. 17).
