Sapphic stanza

Greek and Latin metre
A papyrus manuscript preserving Sappho's "Fragment 5", a poem written in Sapphic stanzas

The Sapphic stanza, named after Sappho, is an Aeolic verse form of four lines. Originally composed in quantitative verse and unrhymed, since the Middle Ages imitations of the form typically feature rhyme and accentual prosody. It is "the longest lived of the Classical lyric strophes in the West".[1]
