	Couplet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A couplet is a pair of lines of verse that form a unit.
		Poetry in rhyming couplets is one of the simplest rhyme schemes:

	COUPLET - LoveToKnow Article on COUPLET
		In French literature, the term couplet is not confined to a pair of lines, but is commonly used for a stanza.
		A square couplet, in French, for instance, is a strophe of eight lines, each composed of eight syllables.
		This signification of the word couplet is not unknown in England, but it is not customary; it is probably used in a stricter and a more technical sense to describe a pair of rhymed lines, whether serious or merry.

	§4. Edmund Waller. III. Writers of the Couplet. Vol. 7. Cavalier and Puritan. The Cambridge History of English and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Very few gallant addresses, and even fewer variations from the couplet form, are to be found in the verses written by Waller after his exile.
		This method of grouping couplets, with the habit of concentrating the force of a passage in a succinct concluding distich, afforded a noticeable contrast to the paragraphic manner in which the minor Jacobean and Caroline poets handled this form of verse.
		To a generation accustomed to a poetical style whose brightness was often concealed by the smoke which enveloped it, the consistent clearness and brightness of Waller’s verse must have compensated for its want of that splendour which was frequent, but intermittent, in the writers of the fantastic school.

	Elegiac couplet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elegiac couplets are a poetic form used by Greek lyric poets for a variety of themes usually of smaller scale than those of epic poetry.
		As with heroic couplets, the couplets are usually self-contained and express a complete idea.
		Elegiac couplets consist of alternating lines of dactylic hexameter and pentameter: two dactyls followed by a long syllable, a caesura, then two more dactyls followed by a long syllable.

	A-2. Couplet-Level
		O'Connor (1980) suggests that parallelism is not constituted on the formal level by rhythm, meter, or line length, but by word devices such as alliteration, verbal repetition, and syntactic dependencies that bind poetic lines together into literary sense units.
		A widely-used method of analysis classifies couplets by the meaning, or semantic, relationship of the two lines (Gray 1915, Geller 1979).
		Kugel (1981) challenges the traditional analysis of poetic parallelism and argues that the A- and B-lines of a poetic couplet are not typically synonymous in meaning.

		For example, the couplet was deposited on a Scirpus-rich surface at Locality 8, 60 cm higher than the contemporaneous surface at Locality 6 where the couplet was deposited on a Triglochin-rich surface.
		Benthic diatom species are present in the couplet sand and gray clay, in the underlying and overlying mud, and in the associated dike sand.
		This distinction is important because the sand member of the couplet, being one of the mechanically weakest horizons in the mud-dominated section, is intruded by sills at a few localities.

	The Heroic Couplet: Its Rhyme and Reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For 150 years, the heroic couplet was the dominant verse form in the English language (and closely related to verse forms dominating other European languages); it prevailed for nearly a quarter of the entire English poetic tradition.
		Before the middle of the seventeenth century, however, many couplets were not end-stopped but instead were en-jambed; that is, the end of a couplet did not necessarily coincide with the end of a clause or a thought unit.
		It is a mistake to think of couplets as stanzas; ordinarily, it takes about seven of them to become a verse paragraph, the closest approximation couplet poetry makes to a stanza, as the printings of couplets in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century books makes clear.

		The couplet is in some ways the simplest form of poetry, and, as a consequence, has become very difficult to do without coming off as hackneyed or cliched.
		Recommendations for the couplet: unless your central image is absolutely dazzling, don't rhyme 'love' with 'dove', 'far' with 'star', 'heart' with either 'part' or 'apart', or 'eye' with 'die', 'sky' or 'lie'.
		In a lover's chain, the couplet is your poetic foundation.

		Alexandrine Couplet- an alexandrine is a line of iambic hexameter, so an alexandrine couplet is two rhymed lines of such.
		Poems whose content is melancholy or depressing, for example, can make good use of the couplet because--on the page--there is a lot of white space, emptiness, as opposed to writing in quatrains where the stanzas are blocks which limit the white space.
		As well, because the couplet can be so small, it is a good idea to pack it full of image and emotion, like a hard punch packed in a tight space, very concentrated.

	Mormon God Was Once Mortal Man Couplet
		From President Snow's understanding of the teachings of the Prophet on this doctrinal point, he coined the familiar couplet: "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." This teaching is peculiar to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
		By a personal being, we mean that he is a man--an exalted man. Approximately one hundred years ago, soon after Lorenzo Snow became a member of the true Church of Jesus Christ, he formulated a remarkable couplet which has since that time become famous.
		He said: "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." (Lorenzo Snow, The Millennial Star 54:404.) Time and time again during the period of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Prophet Joseph Smith, various evidences were given to him sustaining, amplifying, and explaining the personality of God.

		Heroic couplets are lines of iambic pentameter that rhyme in pairs (aa, bb, cc).
		Though this verse form was introduced into English by Chaucer in the fourteenth century, its name derives from its use in seventeenth-century "heroic" (epic) drama and poetry.
		In closed couplets, each pair of lines is self-contained, even if they are part of a larger grammatical structure, as in the following lines from Pope's "An Essay on Criticism" (1711):
