Match each excerpt to its poetic structure.

Answer 1

BLANK VERSE - 1. I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; 
And on a day we meet to walk the line 
And set the wall between us once again. 
We keep the wall between us as we go.
(Robert Frost, "Mending Wall")

BLANK VERSE - 4.It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these
barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and
know not me.
( Alfred Lord Tennyson, "Ulysses")

BALLAD STANZA - 2. The king sits in Dumferling toune,
Drinking the blude-reid wine:
O quhar will I get guid sailòr,
To sail this schip of mine.
(Anonymous, "Sir Patrick Spens")

BALLAD STANZA - 3. The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin;
The guests are met, the feast is set:
May'st hear the merry din. ( Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime
of the Ancient Mariner")
