Its rhyme scheme is abab, cdcd, efef, gg. The Shakespearean sonnet uses three quatrains each rhymed differently, with a final, independently rhymed couplet that makes an effective, unifying climax to the whole. The sestet may be arranged cdecde, cdcdcd, or cdedce. In the sestet, the first three lines reflect on or exemplify the theme, while the last three bring the poem to a unified end. The octave has two quatrains rhyming abba, abba, the first of which presents the theme, the second further develops it. The Petrarchan sonnet has an eight line stanza (called an octave) followed by a six line stanza (called a sestet).
