_While winds frae aff Ben-Lomond blaw, And bar the doors wi' driving snaw, And hing us owre the ingle, I set me down, to pass the time, And spin a verse or twa o' rhyme, In hamely, westlin jingle. While frosty winds blaw in the drift, Ben to the chimla lug, I grudge a wee the Great-folk's gift, That live sae bien an' snug: I tent less, and want less Their roomy fire-side; But hanker and canker, To see their cursèd pride._ A similar stanza is found in Moore, _The Sale of Loves_, _a₄ b ~₃ a₄ b ~₃ c₄ d ~₃ c₄ d ~₃ E E₂ F ~₃ G G₂ F ~₃_. In other stanzas used by this poet, the tail-rhyme stanza forms the _cauda_ enclosed by two _pedes_ (see § 283); e.g. in _Nay, tell me not, dear_, on the scheme _a b a b₄ c c₂ d₄ e e₂ d₄ F G F G₄_. Another stanza of the form _A B ~ A B ~₃ c c₂ d₃ e e₂ d₃ A B ~ A B ~₃_, _f g ~ f g ~₃ h h₂ i₃ k k₂ i₃ A B ~ A B ~₃_, is used in _Oft, in the stilly night_. As to other forms cf. _Metrik_, ii, § 448. Stanzas, the enclosing _pedes_ of which are formed by two tail-rhyme stanzas, are discussed ib. § 449 (schemes: _a a₂ b ~₃ C C₂ b ~₃ d ~ d ~₃ e e₂ f ~₃ C C₂ f ~₃_, _g g₂ h ~₃ i i₂ h ~₃ k ~ k ~₃ l l₂ m ~₃ C C₂ m ~₃_). § =286.= Some stanzas of still greater extent (not very common) are also formed by combination with tail-rhyme stanzas. There are a few =stanzas of fifteen lines=, e.g. one on the model _a a₂ b₃ c c₂ b₃ d d₂ e₃ f f₂ e₃ g G₃ G₄_ in Moore, _Song and Trio_; one on _a ~ a ~ b ~ b ~₂ c₁ d ~ d ~ e ~ e ~₂ c₁ f ~ f ~ g ~ g ~₂ c₁_ in Shelley, _The Fugitives_ (iii. 55); and one on _a ~ a ~ a ~ b c ~ c ~ c ~ b d ~ d ~ d ~ e f ~ f ~₂ e₄_ in Swinburne, _Four Songs in Four Seasons_ (Poems, ii. 163-76). Two =stanzas of sixteen lines= occur in Moore on the schemes _a a₂ b ~₃ c c₂ b ~₃ d e d e₃ f f₂ g ~₃ h h₂ g ~₃_ (_The Indian Boat_), and _a a₂ b ~₃ c c₂ b ~₃ d d₂ e ~₃ f f₂ e ~₃ G ~₄ H H₂ G ~₃_ (_Oh, the Shamrock_). A =stanza of seventeen lines= (_a a₄ b₃ a a₄ b₃ c c₄ b₃ c c₄ b₃ d₄ e₃ d d₄ e₃_) is found in a Middle English poem in Wright's _Spec. of Lyr. Poetry_, p. 47; it consists of two six-lined, common tail-rhyme stanzas (the _pedes_), and a shortened one (forming the _cauda_). A =stanza of eighteen lines= on the formula _a a₄ b₃ c c₄ b₃ d d₄ b₃ e e₄ b₃ f f g g g f₂_ occurs in Wright's _Pol. Songs_, p. 155 (cf. _Metrik_, i, p. 411); the scheme might also be given as _a a₄ b₂_, &c., if the tail-rhyme verses be looked upon as two-stressed lines. A simpler stanza according to the scheme _a a₂ b₃ c c₂ b₃ d d₂ b₃ e e₂ b₃ f f₂ g₃ h h₂ g₃_ is used in _The Nut-Brown Mayd_ (Percy's _Rel._ II. i. 6). Cf. § 244, also _Metrik_, i, p. 367, and ii, p. 715. Similar stanzas are used by Shelley (in _Arethusa_, i. 374) and by Moore (in _Wreath the Bowl_). Cf. _Metrik_, ii, § 453.
