SONNETS OF MILTONIC STRUCTURE.

Under this heading are placed all sonnets in which the rhyme-arrangement is structurally that adopted by Milton (whatever the number of rhymes employed), and in which the thought has one facet only, and is rendered continuously, whether without break between octave and sestet, as in Milton, or with an accidental metrical pause of comma, colon, or period.
