Similar stanzas frequently occur in Moore, e.g. stanzas on the models _A ~ B A ~ B₄ c c d₃ d₂ E ~ B E ~ B₄_, and _f ~ g f ~ g₄ h h i₃ i₂ E ~ B E ~ B₄_ (in _Love's light summer-cloud_), _A B ~ A B ~₃ c d ~₃ c₄ d ~₃ A B ~ A B ~₃_, _e f ~ e f ~₃ g h ~₃ g₄ h ~₃ A B ~ A B ~₃_ (in _All that's bright must fade_). For other examples see _Metrik_, ii, § 441. Similar stanzas of Septenary metres, also common in Moore, have the formulas _a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃ c₄ d₃ c₄ d₃ E₄ F₃ E₄ F₃_ (in _When Time_), _A₄ B₃ A₄ B₃ c₄ d₃ c₄ d₃ A₄ B₃ A₄ B₃_ (st. i), _d₄ e₃ d₄ e₃ f₄ g₃ f₄ g₃ A₄ B₃ A₄ B₃_ (st. ii); only in st. i the _cauda_ is in the middle; in the others it closes the stanza (_Nets and Cages_). Other stanzas have the reverse order of verses, as e.g. stanzas on the schemes _a ~₃ b₄ a ~₃ b₄ c ~₃ d₄ c ~₃ d₄ E ~₃ F₄ E ~₃ F₄_ (_To Ladies' Eyes_), _A ~₃ B₄ A ~₃ B₄ c d c d₄ A ~₃ B₄ A ~₃ B₄_ (_Oh! Doubt me not_). This sort of stanza also occurs in Moore with other metres, e.g. according to the formulas _A₄ B₂ A₄ B₂ c₃ d₂ c₃ d₂ A₄ B₂ A₄ B₂_, _e₄ b₂ e₄ b₂ f₃ g₂ f₃ g₃ e₄ b₂ e₄ b₂_ (_Not from thee_) and there are still other varieties in Moore and in some of the more recent poets. Cf. _Metrik_, ii, §§ 443-5. § =284.= Among the =stanzas of thirteen lines=, one belonging to the Middle English period has been mentioned above (p. 342, note), which is formed by combination with a tail-rhyme stanza. In the few Modern English stanzas of this length we generally find also a part of a tail-rhyme stanza, as e.g. in the _cauda_ of a stanza constructed on the formula _a b ~ a b ~ c d ~ c d ~₄ E F ~₄ g g₂ F ~₄_ (Moore, _Lesbia hath_, &c.); or in a stanza like _a ~ b a ~ b₄ c c₂ b₄ d d₂ e f e f₄_, deficient in one four-stressed tail-verse as in Moore, _The Prince's Day_: _Tho' dark are our sorrows to-day we'll forget them, And smile through our tears, like a sunbeam in showers; There never were hearts, if our rulers would let them, More form'd to be grateful and blest than ours. But just when the chain Has ceas'd to pain_, _And hope has enwreath'd it round with flowers, There comes a new link Our spirits to sink-- Oh! the joy that we taste, like the light of the poles, Is a flash amid darkness, too brilliant to stay; But, though 'twere the last little spark in our souls, We must light it up now, on our Prince's Day._ For other forms of stanzas belonging to this group see _Metrik_, ii, § 447. § =285.= More numerous are =stanzas of fourteen lines=. Judging by the examples which have come to our knowledge, they are also, as a rule, formed by combination with a tail-rhyme stanza; as e.g. in a stanza by Browne (_Poets_, iv. 276) on the scheme _a b a b c a c a₅ a a₂ b₃ c c₂ b₃_; another stanza, frequently used by Burns, corresponds to the formula _a a₄ b₃ c c₄ b₃ d₄ e₃ d₄ e₃ f ~₂ g₃ h ~₂ g₃_ and occurs, e.g., in his _Epistle to Davie_ (p. 57):
