  Quatorzain - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The distinction was long neglected, because the English poets of the 16th century had failed to apprehend the true form of the sonnet, and called Petrarch's and other Italian poets' sonnets quatorzains, and their own incorrect quatorzains sonnets.
They consist of three quatrains of alternate rhyme, not repeated in the successive quatrains, and the whole closes with a couplet.
In his most mature period, however, Keats returned to the quatorzain, perhaps in emulation with Shakespeare; and some of his examples, such as "When I have fears," "Standing aloof in giant ignorance," and "Bright Star," are the most beautiful in modern literature.

His familiar quatorzain opening “Since there ’s no help, come let us kiss and part” is the one sonnet by a contemporary which deserves to rank with some of Shakespeare’s best.
It is curious to note that Drayton’s triumphant poem was first printed in 1619, just a quarter of a century after he first sought the suffrages of the Elizabethan public as a sonneteer.
The editio princeps of his sonnet-sequence, called Ideas Mirrour: Amours in Quatorzains, included fifty-two sonnets, and was reprinted no less than eight times, with much revision, omission and addition, before the final version came forth in 1619.

 Sestet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early Italian sonnets, and in particular those of Dante, often close with the rhyme-arrangement abc cba; but in languages where the sonority of syllables is not so great as it is in Italian, it is dangerous to leave a period of five lines between one rhyme and another.
In the quatorzain, there is properly speaking no sestet, but a quatrain followed by a couplet, as in the case of Shakespeare's so-called Sonnets.
Another form of sestet has only two rhymes, ab ab I ab; as is the case in Gray's famous sonnet On the Death of Richard West.
