Elizabethian Sonnet

Cormac Lenihan 'Twas Capellanus claimed he'd never seen A love that flourished, lest it be by night With stolen kisses breaching wedding rites Such love, he says, to both must feel more keen For longing grows when something's in between And conquest's sweeter when there is a fight Made side by side against a common plight Like marriage vows, whose strictures intervene Tose worthless words are oft the plea of youth Which heeds the loins and says the heart's to blame And saying thus takes comfort in his crime Such callow hearts have meddled up in truth Lust's lighting bolt for love's eternal flame The greaatest love is that which conquers time.	THis is a sonnet in the Itailian style. The lines follow strict iambic ppentameter, with the emphasis on every second syllable. The rhyming pattern is abbaabba cdecde. An example of this rhyming style can be found in Petrarch's first sonnet: (Cormac can you provide for me the further document?)
Gilligan of St Barts I shall relate to you a summer's day When feasting, fighting, dancing all were done And as the gloaming shut the light away The gentlefolk continued in their fun. A battle fought, the blows of wood on wood 'Though in their minds the sounds were turned to steel From feasting pot all luck that came was good So all enjoyed a fulsome hearty meal Sweet music poped across the pav'ed floor The graceful dancers twirles upon the earth What pageantry! And people by the score United n their pealing cries of mirth. Although much fun as had in fading light All things must end, and tourney ends this night.	Sonneteers were often beholden to a patron, who commissioned poetical works to be written. In this case, I commissioned myself to write a sonnet to mark the final Summer Twilight Tornament for 2007. The standard sonnet structure is followed: iambic pentameter:Ten beats to a line, stress on every second beat Fourteen lines: four quatrains and an ending couplet Rhyming scheme: ABAB ABAB ABAB CC Many sonnets (especially those penned by William Shakespeare) cntained a fatalistic note about the passage of time and the impermanence of the human condition. The final couplet of the sonnet also touches on this notion. Glossary iambic: a dipthmy with the stress on the second syllable (da DUM) quatrain: a stanza compsed of four line couplet: a stanza composed of two lines
Rudolf von der Drau How rare to sit beneath the freshing boughs With Oaken gall and Eucalpt entwined And watvh the contest rapt with Valor's blows In honor of all Chivalry enshirned. To watch untimely artifacts recede, Ignored, while joyously the day does fade In jest, we did with Chronos bright lightly plead, That we might choose more honourable ways. As all the waters down the rivers flow, To stir again and rain upon those boughs, Do we recieve the virtues of the days, When first above the animals we rose. So, here we are, preserving mem'ries green, Remaining yours, In Service to the Dream.
Gwynfor Lwyd Here upon this verdant green do I stand Caparisoned, arrayed, well armed Armour bright, weapons gleam, at my command At herald's cry nerves subside, pulse is clamed. My foe in the list awaits, fearsome knight Of grace and honour, assured and keen, To match greats blows of sword and ax with might In tests of prowess that chivalry seen. By ladies surpassing fair, utter grace, And lords of means and title and clean limb Be entertained by flashing steel and stout shield For today chivarly's light is not dim. With honour and strength upon the great field Prowess and skill at arms yet shall not yield.	A sonnet what I did wrote tonight in honour of this 'ere Pas d'Armes. It done got 3 verses of 4 lines, the a verse with 2, all of 10 syllables which is sorta like wot Shakespeare done did, even if he is out of period.
