Elizabethan or Shakesperean sonnet is characterized for its use of three quatrains(comprising of four lines) followed by a couplet(pair of lines that accomplishes the thought began in quatrain) which is written in iambic pentameter(five metrical feet in which a stressed or long syllable is followed by a short or unstressed syllable).
